About This Class

This course is perfect for you who wants to learn a beginner’s choreography in heels from a professional trained dancer. No previous experience needed. This course goes in depth on all the movements in the dance and will guarantee new moves for you to show off in the clubs. If it feels too intimidating to attend a live dance class, this is a perfect first step to boost your confidence and learn some basic skills.

The course is divided into an introduction where you will learn the correct dance technique on how to walk properly in heels. Then we move on to the choreography, which is broken down into 3 parts, each a step-by-step tutorial so you can pace the course in your own comfortable tempo. Then at the end you can try the full dance with music.

I have even added a little bonus challenge at the end for the brave and fearless ones that are up for a little challenge.

There is no pressure from anyone watching, so feel free to let your inner goddess shine through either if it is in your living room, garage, or wherever your stage is today.

Please make sure to warm up before you start dancing, to help prepare your body and prevent possible injuries.

1. Introduction: Hi everyone and welcome to this course. In this tutorial, I'm gonna teach you a sexy dance routine that you can either dense in your own living room, you can maybe a bunch surely take it out to the class and show off since taxis. If you've never done before, that's not a problem. That's all broken down course into different sections. So you can always go back and retrieve and loop over if something was, maybe move into award or you want to learn into your own tempo. The advice is to wear clothes that you are personal and comfortable way so you can really get into the feeling and feeling sexy and fabulous if you're not used to wearing heels, our command, you are in the cartography without heels first and then later when you feel uncomfortable and the movements, you can chunk them on and feel fabulous. Now it's time to start that same one last note before we start is that I want this to be fun. This course is for you. So let's use this space to just released the negative thoughts. And really out in ourself this time to feel empowered and sexing are body. 2. Walking in heels: Okay, so before we start dancing in her appeals, It's really good to know the basics of wearing heels and how to walk in heels. So I'm really gonna go through Dr. Darrow. We are more comfortable when we're putting movements on top of that as well. So walking in the heels, we want to keep the same walking pattern as we usually would do without heels. So normally we would walk in who put our heel down first and done our toe heel down first and on our toe, we're going to keep that when we walk in heels as well. When I walk, I would first strengthening my knee. I want to walk on straight nice. Then I put my toe, then I move my whole body weights, which is mostly the hips over my foot. Continuing with the other foot, I'm straightening my knee, walk in with my hue and then my toe walking, straightening TO moving over straightening TO when we walk. I wanted to walk on a straight knee. What do I see a lot in classes is that my students would have a tendency to walk on the hill with a flat foot, walk down with a flat foot. Maybe for both purposes. But let's try to avoid that suspense also makes it difficult to keep our nice strict when we walk as well. So let's aim to have healed. Ben told them TO every time we walk, Let's level up a bit. When I walk, I'm going to keep this phrase forward to you. When you walk. I want to also turn my feet out a little bit. This will help a lot with bounds on your heels. When I walk, I walk with this little turned on to diagonally, one of them walk in a straight line. I'm actually walking my feet, lifting, turned out kind of like a little pizza shape with my feet to help with our balance as well. I also wanted to sit in my hip, sit in my hip, six in my hip. Why not walk? Thing to remember now, straight nice. He 11 total. Then sit in for a hip and religion it out. So it's four things we want to remember. It starts off with a straight knee, heel, toe, safety and hip. Strengthen my knee, heel, turn on the gout TO then sit on my hands. Swollen to counter the hips. Once the hips aren't moving, it's easier to get the upper body moving because see, if I did x squared off my hips and I split them up, it's hard for me to move my upper body, as well as if my hips are moving, that make it easier to get more movement in the full body. That's practices a few times. Straightening here TO HIT straightening TO hip, straight knee, heel, toe, hip. Last time's threatening TO let's try it a little faster. So we're gonna go 126 and then the 3646. So just to recap that, multiple hats, so remember is spread me, he'll Bento, I'm turning it out and lift a bit to keep help with balance and a moving my hip and sifting rename, I hit this wall, wanted to walk States and sit in it. What I recommend for you is to put on one of your favorite songs and just have a little walk, even if it's in your living room or bedroom or wherever you have your studio at the moment. Just have a stroll around and walk it out. And really tried to get it into your muscle memory to sit in your head when you're walking, as well as walking with scraped knees and heels first. Let's practice. 3. Learn Part 1: All right, let's start learning the cartography. I'm going to have a full eight where nothing happens that on the next eight, my start position is going to be a little movie with my hands, feet, and I'm gonna pump my left knee up and tucked in my head. So just by my side. And I hold for 12345678, I dragged my hands up 78. Step out with my left leg. You can do a big, big, big hip circle, 123456, leaving my shoulder seven. Could my weight back on our right? As I do, they keep circle around my head's is just from up here. They're just going down my back and around the butt to kind of emphasize one-to-one and get focused it. You can also use your eyes and go ahead and to also emphasize the focus of the hip roll from 567, tape roll 234567, seats. Continuing on. I'm moving forward. Its name. I'm gonna walk crossing over, crossing over. My hands are coming up. And then after the hip circle, weight over, waist over. Just a weight over, weight over, and have a little figure out the eighth in the hips as well. Just to get the shape that I wanted to show. From walking forward. We've done the shoulder in left leg, 123456, weight over seven over eight. Good. Arms is just do like a brief slide thing. Slipped back here. 56 over 78. Continuing on, I'm going to cross my left leg over, and so on my arm crossing over here, I'm going to do three integrals as my hands move down my buddy. 34, a big hip roll, 56, scooping down seven. When I hear back, if you have your heroes, big, big wave of fair, let's go back to what they would do walking forward. 1234567, crossing over 1. Third 1 scooping up my hands is going down from the side. And then those scooping on under and going over and down here, down here to help with your balance and you see my hands for support as well. Seven, continuing on, my right arm goes up 12. Then I'm stepping on my left side. Three, step four, and I'm gonna face front again, five. Let's do that again. From here, I come up 123, crossing over when the Reichstag for stepping out of my left leg, five and on, That's fun. A circle with my chest that goes from my right forward and to my left. I'm gonna continue that circles because now we've got a half circle, continued on a hat with my kids that goes from my left to my right. Step out, 5656. And then you sing by moving my head likes a lot. So I can really pump up that hip out and give it nice shapes around there from drug again, we go down seven in step 34567, steps together. From the top till there. That's fine. Your thoughts together. Certainly BCE or position touching me. 123456, arms sad, then hit Grow 123456, shoulders seven down, eight walking 1234, hip from sakes, weight over seven, crossing milligram, 1234 big 156781234, out five, down, six together, 78.

So your field and mastering comfortable and movements before moving on. 5. Part 1 with music: It was tried for me. Okay. 6. Learn Part 2 : Now that we've practiced part of one of the colonography, let's move on and go over Part Two. The last thing we did was stepping out five hips, six together and had a gonna do a head roll starting from my right shoulder over back to my left shoulder. And I will have four comes to doing it. So head was eight N head row 1234. If you wanted to, you can also add the victims chest and the head roll. 1234 double. Keep it more dramatic and a bit more dynamic as well. Continuing on, we stepped back on our left foot, back, move my weight back to my standing leg and that kind of make a set or a Z with my hip. Stepping back with your left foot, you go up, move over and sit. Other foot. Move over and sit. And getting a go. Move over and sit and less than Move over and sit. For this movement, we're moving backwards as we're stepping backwards or legs, but we don't have to take this big steps backwards. It's more about the hips and the movement of the hips. So don't read immediately lots of space to do this movement. I can just almost stuff under myself and emphasize the hips, the movement of the hips and this one. Let's find it together. We did had on eight N head room to step back on our left thumb, thumb, thumb, thumb, thumb, thumb. Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom. Good. An absolute backwards with our hips. My hands is coming off my body, moving all the way up straight arms from our head to roll my hands and by my side down once it starts back with my left, they slowly move off my body in my own tempo.

This right-hand is just stroking behind. My left hand is touching right elbow. Everything in together. One more time. 123 and poor last two ones. Then those steps, 56, touch my elbow on seven, move everything in. My elbow is moving from this side to the front. And sfg do that, I created a little hole or view where I can watch. We want to use that. Let's find that together for my hand, it went down 81234567812345678. That is part two of this colonography. Now it's time to go back and practice like we do with part one. We have this in our body and we can move on to the last part of the dance. 7. Part 2 with counts: 81234567812345678 9. Learn part 3: Continuing on, stepping out of it, my right leg Boom, and my arms come down by my side. I'm now going to do a dye that a body roll up. One try and keep my nice straight as possible.

When I try to keep my knee straight so it don't bend down here. And also wanted to try and orange for back on the way up. It creates a beautiful lines we want to have as well my artists. It's just going often don't my thigh. But if you want to, you can also use soap around your chest. You can do whatever you feel like. I'm always a big fan of creating your own flavor to the movements. Diving down 1234567, step back to your left foot on. Let's find that together from my head roll all the way to do body or a gland. We've done 81234567812345678. Step out, 1234567. Step step forward, weight to my left leg, forward, pivoting to the other side. But I left my weight's going all the way over to foot before I pivot back and then I do the same thing again. Left-click forward, hip all the way over, pivoting back. For the final post knob. Twists surprise to the other side. Pulse, this M posts you can do arm up, months, go over your shoulder. You can pump all the way down. You can do half down, whatever you feel like. And post Weiss. Let's do it from the pivot together. So we just put together an eight. I'm pivoting, pivoting forward on my left leg. Hips come over, pivoting back. Again, left leg forward. Pivoting back, coming to oppose this way. All right. Over my left shoulder, turning back on my left shoulder to do to post. That dissolves the grub fin. So let's go back the rewind.
