Hi this is Emily Larew and I'm going to continue on with our shoulder isolations. In the previous clip we've done, pop, forwards, up and down, backwards and individuals, now we're going to try and smooth it out and get into rolls. So our feet planted firmly apart knees bent we're going to roll them forward. We're going to go forward and drop into it, nice and slow so you can see it. We're going all the way up, making it maximizing your movement all the way up, all the way down and then you drop we drop our shoulders your knees are going to bend. So let's make it a little bit more hoppy. Ready six, seven, eight. One two three four five six seven eight. Now our arms are just relaxed down by our side. Let's take it to the back. We are going to roll them backwards, drop three four five six seven eight. So let's speed it up, here we go, ready five, six, seven, eight. One two three four five six seven eight. Awesome, now I want to do individual rolls. What you are going to do is take your left shoulder and we are going to lean to the right so were rolling it forward roll two three four. And all we're doing with our knees is we're bending side to side. That's it. Ready five six seven eight. One two three four five six seven eight. You can also take it backwards, one two three four five six seven eight. And as you are going to continue to see hip hop doesn't have always be super sharp and poppy but often can be smooth as well.
