"Hi, my name is Tishambia Caine, I'm with Studio Soiree. Today we're going to be doing cardio cabaret chair dance. So, the first thing I'm going to do is show you an eight step dance. We're going to start with the walk, with the right leg. This is the first step, one, then your left leg, this is the second step, two. With your hand, you slap the chair, three. At the same time you put your right knee down on the chair, that's four. So, we're going to try that one more time, doing the count. With the right leg, one, two, slap with the hand, knee on chair, three. One more time, nice smooth movement. One, two, three, four. Technically, the fourth step is the knee going onto the chair. Now, the next four steps we're going to teach you is to help you loosen up your inner hip abducter. This is step number 5. You're going to be working your gluts and your hamstrings and also stretching this quad out. This is step number six followed by step number seven and then eight. So, it looks like this in fast motion. Now, depending on how flexible you are, if you're very flexible, you can kick up. If you're not so flexible in that hip abducter, you can kick down. So, let's start from the beginning at one and do all eight steps. Again, with the right leg, one, two, three, four, lift it up, six, seven, eight."
