"Men typically don't like their walk on a ramp to be called "the catwalk", so we're going to call this the man's "stylish walk." What's different about it from the ladies' catwalk is that they only keep their feet side-by-side, they do not overlap their feet -that's very feminine, and it's very defined by the women. So what I want the men to do is, again, keeping their arms going up and back, just the same as the women?s. I want their feet to stay side-by-side as they walk, and as they walk they're going to keep their feet close together but they're not going to keep them outside like some guys rock when they walk and athletes who are big and strong, they've kind of got that muscular walk where they prove themselves, and then you've got some people who just kind of mope out with their poor posture, and then they walk back. I really want you, again, to focus on your posture, and as you keep your feet side-by-side, the arms swinging side-by-side, that's the man's stylish walk. As you can see my feet are not spread wide, they're side-by-side. Also, I want the men to realize as they make the turn they're just going to slow down a little bit, pause so they can get back with their feet close together to walk side-by-side. That is a man's stylish walk. Now I'd like to take you into the next clip and this is going to be the attitude for men and women on the ramp, while they're modeling the catwalk or the stylish walk."
