"Hi, I'm Emily Larew, and we're going to do a buffalo combination across the floor with our newly acquired flap scoots. So let's start with our right foot, we already know our buffalos, we start with our right front crossed in front, and we're going to end crossed in front, and it's jump, shuffle, jump for a buffalo. So let's just do our hands on our hips for right now, to learn our feet. Five, six, seven, so we'll buffalo, we have, jump, shuffle, jump, and we're going to move. So I want you to jump, and your foot, your left foot's going to take the place of the right one. One more time. Jump, shuffle, jump. So we have three buffalos total. Ready? Five, six, seven, eight. We have jump, shuffle, jump, jump, shuffle, jump, jump, shuffle, jump. We're going to have two flap scoots. Flap scoot, flap scoot. All right. And that continues to finish up our eight count. So we have a whole eight count. Five, six, seven, eight, one and a two, three and a four, five and a six, and a seven and a eight. Woo! Talk about fast, huh? One more time. Let's add some arms with that, shall we? We're going to have our arms here, and blades straight out from each other. We're going to open up on the buffalo. Buffalo one, buffalo two, buffalo three, then I want you to wind it up, flap scoot, flap scoot, so we're a little bit funky and a little bit sharp, all right? Five, six, seven, we've got, buffalo one, buffalo two, buffalo three, flap scoot, flap, scoot. Awesome. That was your buffalo combination with the flap scoots."
