Video Transcript

"Now we're going to work on the isolation of your upper body, your torso, for your dancing. Again, you need to have the right position. Bend your knees so you unblock your back and your feet slightly apart and focus on your torso. Be sure to keep your shoulders aligned and focus on your rib cage. Bring your hands to your hips and don't forget to breathe, and you go out to your right, center, out to your left and center. So you're focusing on the ribcage to the right, go back to your center, go left, center. Right, center, left, center. Without the center we go to the right and left, and right, left, right, center. Now we're going to create a circle creating finding your four corners. We go right, back, left, front, right, back, left, front. Now we're going to continue that movement and getting to around the four corners to create a circle and this is a circle parallel to the floor. And you go around and center. Very good. Go right, back, left, front. Now we're going to reverse that circle. You're going to go left, back, right, and forward. Left, back, right and forward, and now we're going to create a circle getting those four corners together. So you go back, right, front and left and go around your center. One more time. And as you do it you need to breath. Inhale up and exhale out and back to your center and go right, left, right, center."
