"Okay now how we can to add a jump? We add a little jump in the other one. Now we are going to make a little bit bigger jumps. That is up to you, it is up to how much you can, you have a long stretch you have a middle stretch. It depends on how you can make it. Yes, so the first jump. The first one is we are going to try to do. So bring your legs together, your toes kind of so that your heels are going to go all the way up to your butt. You are going to jump up and bring it down. So for that I want to push the floor, I want to bring it up, bring my heels all the way up to my middle waist. So bring it and pick it up. So you are going to jump up and down alright. So the movement will be I am going forward, I am going around, down, forward in jump down. That is how we are going to add it. So I am going to go all the time. Remember you are going around forward, and step together jump down. And that is how I am going to try and add it each time I am doing something. Now from the same jump, I am going to trick it and I am going to fix it. I want to make it a little bit more bigger. I want to bring left leg up and my right leg back. So I am going to do this and the same time in the air. It is the same jump, the same jump. OK, so one more time. So I am going to go forward, and around ok. So that is how your going to lift a little bit. Lift your body and you can add it to your dance. So if you going to forward and around push pop. That is how you add jumps to your combination. Even if it is a little bit more, you need a little a bit more excitement in your choreography that is how you can use. Okay, now listen to the music okay. And then try to go all the time at tempo. That is the first part, okay. Now we are going to add a little bit of the jump, the second jump. A little bit more higher. Remember around and here and okay. I mean you can add it if you want it to the last minute and open to the center. So lets do both together. So back back back back and jump and kick high and forward and jump down.
