Let's learn how to do a horizontal figure eight with your chest. Make sure your feet are parallel to each other, the knees are bent, the belly button's pulled into your spine, your chest is lifted, your shoulders are relaxed, arms are out to the side. We're going to begin by angling one shoulder slightly forward, the other one in the opposite direction to the back. We're going to slide our torso to the back. Keeping it out there, we're going to bring it around to the front. So, now our shoulders have switched positions, now we're going to slide through the body, toward the back, and keep it there, and bring it around to the front. Slide, bring it to the front, slide through the body, and bring it to the front. You want to imagine your body making an x, your torso's making an x, as you go through the center of your body, and then the outsides are connected. So your figure eight is going to be on the floor. It's parallel to the floor. Let's try it with some music, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
