Let's learn how to do Figure 8 with the chest in a vertical motion. So if you're in a box, you're going to imagine your figure 8 in front of you, going up and down. First start with your feet parallel to each other, the knees slightly bent, the belly button's pressed into your spine, your chest is lifted and your shoulders are relaxed. Our arms are out to our side. This is going to combine a Torso Slide, a Chest Lift, a Chest Smile and the V. So if you want to refer to those clips in another place, then you can check those out and put this altogether that way too. This is a little bit more of an advanced movement and it's a very subtle movement. So let's first start by sliding out to the side, lifting the chest, pulling in as you come back to the center, sliding out to the opposite direction, lifting, coming back to your center. Pulling in, pulling out to the side, and lift, into the center and we just continue it into your Figure 8. Let's try it with some music. Five, six, seven, eight.
