"Hi I'm Emily Larew, we're continuing on with our beginning hip hop combination. We're on count four, counts one through four. So if you remember correctly, we are sitting here on eight and. You are then going to drop your right arm to the floor and we're pushing our pelvis forward. Left hand comes to our heads. So if you have a hat on, a hoodie, if you wanted to put it up and add your hand on your hoodie, whatever. You can play. So we're just going to stop right there. You're already here. We got lower to the floor so all you have to do is push front, and we're on the balls of our feet, no knee, no back here, right here. One, from here, you're going to push off that right hand. You're going to switch your left foot comes out straight and you do switch to the left hand at the same time. Alright? So we did one, push two, all my weight was in my right foot. Your right foot is going to cross over, three, and you're going to the back corner, right hand on your thigh and you're going to push up and pop out and four as you turn around. So it starts from being down here in the lunge, push up, and four. OK? Let's do it again. And seven, eight and one, flip, two, cross three, and four. Alright? Take it back from the top. Five, six, seven, eight. A one and two, and three, four, five, six, seven and eight. We've got one and two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight. And one, two and three, turn four, five and six, seven and eight and one, two turn, three and four. Good and that was our count of eight."
