Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Emily Larew and now we're going to do a little fun across the floor combo with some jump toe turns and a flap hop combo. Alright. So here we go. Let's take a look at it before we go across the floor, center floor. Here we go. So, we're going to do, you're going to jump toe. You have two jump toes to get around one rotation. OK? So, we're going to do two turns, so that means four jump toes. We have five, six, seven, right foot, jump toe, jump toe and three and four. Awesome! We can handle that, right? One more time with our arms. Six, seven, eight, jump toe and two and three and four. Good. Let's try it turning. Here we go! And one, two, three, four. Awesome! We're free with our right foot to go flap, flap, flap, hop, flap, flap, flap, hop. Alright? So, make sure, again, that that hop is a sound. So, I want to hear it when you do it. Alright? So again, after your jump toe, jump toe, jump toe, jump toe, flap, flap, flap, hop, flap, flap, flap, hop. So, let's do it standing. Six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, a five and a six, seven and a eight and. Good! Let's try turning. On the flaps, you are not turning. You're going to just travel straight on down the road. OK? So the only turning part is the jump toes. Five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, a five, six, seven and a eight and. And then you want to just repeat it and keep going. Good job! That was our jump toe with out flap hop combination."
