Let's try our Choo Choo Shimmy traveling side to side. First let's get it going by up on relevee. Pull those hips up toward your ribs. Make sure your belly button's pulled in to your spine. Lift your chest, relax your shoulders. Now we're going to travel to the right first, so put your right foot just so slightly in front of you. And we're going to go to the side. And now let's try it with the left foot coming forward and go to the left. Very good. Make sure everything stays lifted. Keep your hip movement nice and even. Now let's try leaving the left foot in front and traveling to the right. That gives a little bit different angle. Make sure you stay square to your audience. Now let's switch feet and have the right foot in front and go to the left. Very good. Now let's try it a little bit faster. Good. Pull those hips up, keep breathing. Make sure you practice this in the mirror to make sure your shoulders stay nice and relax and that your belly button's pulled in and that you keep your weight centered over your feet. So drill that till you got it right.
