1. LET'S GO! CLASS INTRODUCTION: What's up? What's up? Welcome to my course.
My name is Tiger. I've been dancing for 20 years, teaching for over 15 years professionally and underground. And I still teach now
I still dance now. This course is made to help you go from beginner to advance, and I mean that literally, I'm going to really break down everything from your
head to your finger. Literally speaking, there's
a whole video just on how to use your finger
control, your head, your hand, your feet, twisting, bouncing,
rocking your shoulders. We're really going
to break this down, and also going to give you tons of hip hop
vocabulary steps. Now, this is a hip hop course on how to dance, hip hop course. However, hip hop itself is such a versatile dance and social dance that you can use the movement anywhere socially. I mean, just rocking. Moving your head, doing
this with feeling and then doing isolations when you want to impress somebody.
You know what I mean? So this is really a
holistic dance like that. I feel very free in my body, and it's helped my confidence, literally, just being able to
dance specifically hip hop. And with the knowledge that I've gained from
dancing professionally, TV shows on stage, music videos and underground
in the thick of it, in the battles and
things like that. It helped me really
understand just how to move my body but also how to translate
information to other people, again, I've been teaching
for 15 years, too. So in this course,
as I said, I'm going to take you from
beginning to advance. Any questions ask me, and I'll see you in the course.
2. HOW TO BOUNCE: Boing, boing, boing, oh, sorry. Yeah, so how to bounce. So bouncing is one of the main elements
of hip hop dancing. You want to bounce, you want
to flow with your moves. You want to glide,
you want to slide. So how do you bounce.
It's very simple. All you're going to do with your knees is bend them
and then extend again. Bend, extend, or bend,
reset. That's all. You are going to do. Typically, we're going to
bounce on the one count, the two count and
the whole counts. So on the one like
this, two, three, four. Don't over think what
you're doing right now. Even if you feel stiff, that's just to do with your upper body. But right now, I'm
sure you are bouncing. Surely, it's just this. You do this all
the time, just to bend your knees to pick
something up from the floor. Bend, bend, bend. Now, doing it to music, and again, being more
loose in the body, that comes later in the course. So bounce, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, straight on the side, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four outside, one,
two, three, four, one, two, three, from
the back, and one, two, three, four, one,
two, three, four. So all you're doing is bending
your knees and standing. With your arms, you can do this. You can flare out your elbows, almost like a chicken dance, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. But when you do this, try to have your shoulder
slightly relaxed. And even if you throw your
shoulder slightly forward, it adds a nice feeling too. I'm just throwing my
shoulders slightly forward. You see that bom ta, ta. It helps to negate the
stiffness as well. Boom, boom, one, two, one, two, and I raise my
arms very casually. Boom, it's not
stiff, stiff, stiff. Does this look good?
No, it doesn't. There's no flow, so it's more
relaxed. I let my arms go. Raising, then let them
drop, raise them, then let them drop,
boom, boom, boom. I'm not thinking up and down, up and down, my arms. I'm just thinking of the up up. Up down, up, up, up, up, let them come down
naturally by themselves. In terms of moving around, because, of course, you
want to move around, don't overthink again,
you just move around, but you bounce, you
bend your knees. So if I stepped in a side, instead of stepping like
this, I step up like this. I step forward, instead
of stepping like this, if I was walking to the shops,
I'll step up like this. If we go forward
and into the sides, we go this side, this foot, this side, this side
and this side together. You can see how simple
it is and we will use our elbows for the bounce
for the balance as well. So seven, eight, we go one, come back, two to
the side, three, come back, four, and again, one and two, and
three, and four. Now to add more of a groove, we're going to
bounce when we come step together as well,
what that to call home. So when our feet are just showed apart we've
been together, I call this home and stepping
away as away from home. Now it looks like this, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and again. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and
again, one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, last, mom, one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. Do you feel a more
consistency with the bounce and the floor when you bounce when you
step home as well? I hope you do. Step
out and step ahead. You don't have to do it, but I totally recommend that
you bounce when you're stepping together
because it keeps the flow going as
opposed to bounce, no bounce, bounce, no bounce. Less you're trying to conserve energy or
something like that. In terms of your arms again, you can your arms flat
out by the elbows, or you can swing them and cross. Swing cross swing, course very casually. I'll
show you from behind. Again, we're going
to go forward, this side, this side, right, and left,
five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, again, one, two, three, four, last one, coming up now, last one, one, two, three, four,
or swing, swing. When I step back, I step in
the bottom I I go back step. I don't step flat, that's very awkward and not going
to fro the body, so I step on up. I'm
going to step back. A nice strategy for you to improve your
bouncing right now and you're moving around the floor is to step away from
home on the two. Bounce on the one, home, one, step out, two, bounce, one, two, and
step in any direction. That would be one, two, two, two, two or cross or diagonal, I should say, and
then cross diagonal. Cross dig on the back or
just dag on the back. Oh, just back.
Literally, anywhere you want to step,
step out on the two. Why? Because,
generally speaking, the clap then is on the two. So it just makes a better
effect and feeling. Gives you better
feeling as well. Step in on the one and the two, one and the two,
one and the two, one and the two, one
and the two, three, and four, one and the
two, three, and the four. So musically, it just
makes more sense. So I hope you understand that bouncing is not
something to overthink. Just bend your knees and extend. Roll your shoulders
slightly forwards, okay? My body also is quite forwards.
I'm not totally straight. I'm trying to keep my posture
perfect, like a ballerina, you know, I'm letting it just sit in a comfortable position. And I'm feeling my arms while I'm doing the
elbows raising remember, just raise your arms and
let them drop, okay? Simple as that. See
you in the next video.
3. HOW TO TWIST AND BOUNCE: Twist again like
we did last year. Sorry. So twisting. So twisting is a
very nice concept, very good concept for your hip hop dancing and
it's very simple as well. You've already learned
how to bounce. Now you're going to do a
bounce but with a twist. So instead of just bouncing
like this two, three, four, I'm going to twist on my
heels so my toes come up, twist on my heels
and then land in a bounce to the upper side. You've got my toes again, I land in advance on
the other side. So you got one and two, one and two, remember the
arms, let them be loose. So you sing your arms
up and relax, up, let them come down by
themselves or swing swing. So it toes come up, don't leave your heels, but
you can do that as well. Can do heels, heels, heels, heels, heels, heels. If you want to bit more awkward, I would say, but you
can do that also. The main motto of practice, I'll say for now is
lifting up the tolls. Boom, bom, bom. Shape on a side, upper side, S and a, tools come up off the floor. Again, my body is grounded, so I'm leaning
slightly forwards. One, two, twist them
back, twist them back. I can have my hands
anywhere I want. You can keep your
feet closer as well. You can gradually
get wider by just shifting your legs
gradually coming smaller. You can do single single
double like this, single, single two bounces, single,
single two bounces. Even when you're wider, single, single two bounces. Again, my body is forward. It helps with the
balance. I'm not up here, I can be here. I can for short, so can you. But it's nice also
to get that hip hop feeling or be more
grounded to lean forward. Boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom. So this is the twist and ounce. It's all it is. And
another good thing about it is you can
change directions. So if I want to go over there, remember in the previous
video show you that stepping. Away at home on away. What if I want to
make it more stylish, or then I'll simply twist. Okay? But maybe I don't know
about the way I twist back. For example, bouncing, bouncing. Step side, Twist,
back, step, step. Maybe he can step
in any direction. Step whenever I step, I can twist, again, or can twist, travel, trambl, travel, fist, fist. I leave him twisting to a cross. Fist man's across now. Is back, Ms across. Step back, cause that's where it's most
simple to do. Okay? When you get to a
certain position, your weight is going
to be on one side, more than the other, most likely, and go with the decision that feels
most comfortable. Right now, there's more
weight on this stick. So I just step back, step
back from here, the twist. Okay? So just rewind all that. It's too confusing. The main thing to understand is this toes come off the floor. Twist Twist. And you
land on the other side. Then, so here, I'm
up, then I land, up, and into the bounce, two, one. So you he can twist on the one, on the two, one, on the two. But you don't need
to hit the snare. In this one, one, and then two. Again, in twist and travel as as that.
See the next video.
4. SHOULDER CONTROL: Win, win, boing, boing. Oh, yeah, so shoulders. Did you get that. So you can actually bounce with
the shoulders, like so. Okay? By going up, down,
up, down, up, down. So we don't bouncing
with our knees, you can have a bounce
effect with the shoulders. Why not, eh? So, up up, up down, up down, up down. As high as you can, then let
it drop, boom, boom, boom. Don't stop it,
like with tension. That's not the same
thing. That's why you're crumpling or something.
I'm not doing that. Again, like I said with
you about S with the arms. As I raise them, I just
let them drop naturally. I don't force them
down. Same thing. I raise my shoulders and
let them drop naturally. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Now, if I add my knees, it makes my bounce
look even bigger. So this is me bouncing
without the shoulders. This is with the shoulders. I'm going to do this, and I naturally want
to bounce deeper. Something about the shoulders
going up that makes me want to bounce my
knees deeper. Okay. I can add the twist I
previously seen them. Boom, ta, boom, ta
the one shoulder. Try and be some cool guy. En cooler than I
am. Okay? You can grove forward and back. S forward and back, forward backs on the side. Boom, still bouncing my legs. You can do it when
you sip it as well. Now I'm not saying to always
add the shoulder bounce, but you can if you want
a deeper bounce and it's a different
feel Oh look. Okay? Um, bam, show on the back, boom, boom, the twist again. But but automating to play around with Okay,
don't overthink this. You can't really
do it wrong, okay? You don't need a ten
minute tutorial on this. I promise you, I've been
teaching a long time. I'm sure you're doing it
right. It's just up and down. Again, the feeding takes time, but technically,
it's just up down, up down, up release, up release. Then you want to
add it to the arms. But again, as you've seen in
the bottom of this video, send me a DM if you
want to on Instagram. You want me to judge
and critique and help you with your progress so
far. See the next video.
5. BANKHEAD BOUNCE: Since we just went
over shoulders, let me teach you first
or one of the first, not the first hip hop
actual dance, social dance. It's called the
bank head bounce. So we just did this
in previous video. Up down, up, down, up down. Notice I'm doing it quicker now. This is called the
bank head bounce. What you're going to do is lean slightly forward like this. I'm at angle, so my 2:00, then I go over to the other
side, 10:00 1:00, right? With the hands,
you just do this, keep them here or cross open, cross, open, cross open. It's actually a song with a
bank heead bounce as well. Do the bank head bounce and
it really is this quick. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. Okay, so show it on the side. You can play with
however you want. But typically, the side defence
slow it down if you want. I mean, it's your body. You can slow it down, play around a bit. But yeah, this is called
a banquet bounce. Again, check a
video online called a banquet bounce to understand
the feeling a bit more. Banked bounce.
6. HOW TO ROCK: Rock beats your scissors. My rock beats your scissors. Rock. Yes, rocking. Another main element of
hippo dancing is rocking. What do I mean by rocking? I
just mean this, this motion. Forward, back or back forward. This is what's going to happen. Or forward to neutral, forward to neutral or back to neutral, back to neutral, it's
just that motion. Let's start with our body. I'm actually going
to face this slide straight to ways you can see
exactly what's going on. W rocking our torso, we mainly rock our torso, our hips or our neck when
we're rocking our torso, think about from the waist
up, what do I mean by that? I want all of this, from the
waist up, the shoulders, all of this to be like one, going forward or back as
I'll teach you in a second. Because you could
do this. See how my shoulders are
just going back. Okay. But I'm not going back
entirely, my entire torso. When I say rocking the torso, I mean all of this.
That's important. Otherwise, it'll look
weird. The first rock will do is the backwards rock. Again, from the waist
up, all I'm going to do your legs can stay straight for now is lean back as if I'm going to do a back flip. Boom. Boom. Boom. Okay? Backwards.
I'm going to do a backflip. Wow, this is a triple
whammy backflip. Now, if relax your
arms, keep going. Naturally your hips
are going to go forward like mine are, you dance correctly, your
body is going go back. So both of those things
happen at the same time. Your torso goes
back, your hips go forward. So this is rocking. Now when you do the
backwards rock, please do not do this. This doesn't look cool, please
say I don't look cool now. Why do not look cool?
Obviously, I look stiff. Why? Because of my head.
This is stiff. So when you walk back,
counter that by noding your head forward,
boom, or down. One, two. I walk back, my head goes
down just like this, seven, eight, one, two, one, two, one, two, three, four, or another thing I
like to do is just keep the head angled almost
diagonal down like this. It's my neutral
angle diagonal down. Again, this can keep my head in a nicer position than going with the body and
the torsil as one. No. It's just a torso,
that's the one. The head needs to be free. D nod boom, boom, boom. Now to ad morphine, again, now you can swing your arms
once you've got this going, or do the elbows and
definitely bouncing. When you start bouncing,
then it really feels good. B B. So I'm looking back, and my knees are going,
okay? My bounce is going. Boom, tap, boom, tap. Play my hands, gestures, boom, nod my head, or just keep
my head still, but go down. Bah bah, behind boom, Tata, boom, boom, ta, ta. Now, the opposite is
forwards, of course. Now, forwards, again, from
the torso and upwards. Imagine there's a line
from the middle of the chest and arrow going straight towards
the floor diagonally. That's what you
want to connect to the floor, to the floor, okay? Middle of the chest, boom, to the floor, bam, bam. Bam. Boom. Bam. My ngs
are straight right now? Boom. Boom. Okay, straight line, Stress to the floor. Bam, bum. My head is getting
angled downwards. I'm not trying to keep my
head out of water like this. I mean, think about if
I standings normal, neutral, and I did this, this wouldn't be
comfortable with it. Okay, this is not
comfortable position. So why would we do it
when we're dancing? Okay? So I'm going
to angle my head again slightly downwards hang. It's easier to do
in a ford rock. Again, let that
chest to the floor. Boom, boom, then I
can swing my arms, Tata show you on the from, I can do the elbows. Now, when you bend your knees, the bounces a bit more awkward, but you can do that, too. Okay. That takes a
bit of practice. Got rid of the forward rock. You don't need interrck
you'll bend your knees. Okay? You'll fine hair. Boom, bah boom. But you can lift up
your knees, as well. Bah bah. So at the same time as you walk forward,
you raise the knee. Boom, boom, boom, boom. It's actually a new by itself, called the East side stump. I'll show you on the out
side. Boom, forward. Make sure you don't hit
your head on the wall. To to to to to to to to boom, boom, boom, boom. Sideways. This is a bit more awkward
because it's not as natural. We don't often do this position, or not as much as we do
forwards and backwards. Again, like in picking
something up from the floor, you'd lean forward, you might
stretchginning of the day. Oh you could do this as well. But yeah, you'll see that the sideways is a
bit more awkward, but definitely still natural
and you can't do it. So just leaning your body, so I'm leaning my side of
my body towards my camera. Wow. Two, one, two, my whole body is
tilting to one side. I'm not trying to disengage my shoulder or my
elbow or my arm. I'm not trying to disengage. This side, I'm just rocking, keeping my whole
body as one again. But this time I'm leaning. It's almost like I can
crunch in my sides. Okay so I can feel the
stretch hair and here again, and here, boom, boom, notice not bouncing
my knees, but I can. Okay. O side, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, bah, bah, bah, outside, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And if we did do the bounce, there'll be something like this. I got this side first,
five, six, seven, eight, one, two,
one, two, outside, one, two, three, O side, one, two, three, four, now I'm going to tell
you a little trick. No trick, inside a
note, let's say. When I do the side was
rock with the bounce, I generally brock
slightly diagonally back. Can you see this
from this angle? I'm not flat, completely
going to the side. I'm more slightly diagonal back. I'm still going to the side,
but it's more diagonal back. Why? Because I personally
find it more comfortable. Notice I said
personally because you can go with what feels best to you and I recommend you
do do that when you're dancing pop whilst you're
keeping the foundation. Within the dancing. You can go, single super double again, double, single single double
or just double. The arms. You already know the
arms. They translate into all these different
basics, you see? You can cross again
or just do the pump. Boom, boom, boom, boom. You can go full now, B, fall, B, side, side, side, slide stay on the side, stay on the side. Play
around with this. Boom, boom, ta, ta, going to play some
music and just concentrate on hitting
that one and two, that 34 in all these directions. You can just start at
the back, one, two, three, four, four,
five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and keep growing at that. Let's just do one together. We're going to do
a backwards rock eight times in a forwards rock, eight times walk this way, eight times walk that
way, eight times. The backwards walk
first, five, six, seven, eight, one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, forward, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, side,
one, two, three, four, five, six, yo yo, and one. Two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. Okay. Take care.
See her next video.
7. HEAD ROCKING: Uh huh. Let's not
leave the head out. So the head rock
is super simple. This will not take
long for you to get. You'll get it very quickly. You're simply nodding, okay? That's your front
woods head rock. Boom, boom. Of course, you want to be with the music. Otherwise, it's not dance,
if not with the music. Bam, bam, bam, bam,
bam, bam, bam. Okay? Just try and get used
to the fact that you're doing this to the beat, okay? This is you dancing right now, but very small just
because you're just using your head to boom
literally or backwards. Ta, ta. A, boom, boom, boom, ta. Try to be really
casual with it. Bam. Like, Yeah, what's
up? What's up, man? Yeah. What's up, y'all. Really cash, boom,
boom, boom, boom. You start gesturing, as
always, with your hands. Boom, boom, boom, ta, ta, ta, ta, okay? Very simple. Nodding forwards or
nodding backwards, okay? And you just play around
with that. Boom, boom. I don't want you to
overthink this nodding. That's why I'm keeping this
particular video very short. Do not overthink nodding. You've done it your whole life. Yes. Yes, I like
that. Yes. What's up? What's up? What's up? It's just a simple node.
Until the next video.
8. HEAD FLOW: Now moving into the floor. So flow is interesting. Flow doesn't just mean
like moving like water. You might think of that
when you think of flow. It also means how you go
from move to move, okay? On this particular video,
I'm going to teach you what I call head flow. You can't obviously disengage your skull and wave your head like you
can wave your arms. But what I mean by head
flow is that you can use your head to lead a body flow, actually, or to
lead a whole flow. So what I'm going to do is
tilt my head back. Okay? Nice so. Now as I
to measure back, I want my chest to
go out to expand. Boom, boom, boom, at the
same time on that one. One, one. Now, after one, one, I'm going to simply bring my
chin to my expanded chest. One, two, seven, eight, one, two, seven, eight, one, two, one, more, one, two. Now, this chin going down, what you want for this effect to basically look like is that your chin is going to
make your body go back. Wow. What did he
just do? What I did, I went back like this on
my head, chest expanded. I'm going to bring my chin down. You don't have to actually hit your chest if you can come. You have to bring
your chest down. Then as it gets to a very
close distance to your chest, you're going to
contract your chest. You go one, two, contract, one, to contract, one to
contract, one to contract. But now we want it to flow more. Now we're going to go one, two. We're going to
contract under two. Because remember your chess is body expanded on a one anyway, seven, eight, one, two. Now from here in this
contract chest position, I'm going to bring my
hips back, hips go back. Let's just do that for now. From the top, seven,
eight, one, two, roll back three, seven, eight, one, two, three. I missed the conjunction,
seven, eight, one, two, three, seven, eight,
one, two, three. To go forward, you bring
your hips forward, forward, then come up from your belly, chest, head, and relax. It doesn't have to
be perfect, but just pushing your hips off three, push your hips
forward like this, just push forward, then expand
or push out your belly. Then expand your chest, let your head go up and go down. It's all about practice. Slowly from the top, seven, eight, one, two,
three, Here we go. Roll, belly, chess,
head, and down. Belly, chess, head,
down. Looks like this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six. Now you might be thinking six is a weird number to end on. It is. I just chose
that arbitrarily. Could, for example,
go one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, want to make it fast
or can make it slower. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Or I could finish on
six and then do this. One, two, three, four, five, six, twist, twist. I did in previous classes. Another thing you can do
with the head flow is to use it to again, to flow, basically. You can use it as a controller. So instead of going up and
down now I'm going to go to the side side side side
body to follow me. I'm not doing my body I do my head to to my head,
my body follows. So it's you're flowing
but using your head. Then from here, at any point, I can go back go
down to the chest, come up, come down. I can do a circle on my head. Going to the side again, up, chest down, boom, can
also go up, chest down, and then use your
hand and point at your hip to make the
effect more interesting, or you could go and
actually connect. Front, boom. Boom,
tap on the back, boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay? So you're using your head. You're basically doing a
knee for the snake hair, or you can go up,
simple up, go down. I'm really just being free here. Understand that, please. This is not chorolophy I'm
just being free. I can go down to the
floor on one knee. Okay, use your combo. I can go here and twist around, then come up. Boom, okay? So the main thing
from this course, this video, sorry, is
remember this part. Okay, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom, the side, boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And also going to the side,
again, using your head. They go food and back. Food and back. I'll give you
a sneak in me right now. The plan to give you
this one, but I'll give you this one. I can go forward. It's a bit more at once,
so I can go forward. Back, my knee goes
down, forward again. And back forward when
I'm ready at any point, I back and come on about this. Food. Back, food. Back. Boom, boom, boom. I'm giving you too
much information. I'm giving you too
much information. Wow. See you in the next video.
9. FINGER CONTROL: Concept to think about is this. Oh, my God, this. Finger control. Using
your index finger primarily, that long finger. What do I mean by
finger control? That sounds crazy, right?
Hey, what are you thinking? Finger control
literally means using your finger to control
parts of your body. Okay. Okay, so that. I use my finger and can point at my elbow, all of
my elbow goes out. Bring my arm this way as if it's attached
by a magic string, okay? I think control. I can just go underneath my
chain, turn to the right, my head turns right, then left up down. You just
using your finger. It's like a puppet. You can do little circles with your
leg, simple as that. Don't overthink this. Another
thing you can do is trace. You can trace down your body. I'm not being waving as such. I'm just tracing my arm, the finger sorry around my
body then point a pointer, any part or line pointer is
going to a an effect. Okay. Co. Boom, boom. Go on, boom, look at this. I'm bring my knees in,
bring my knees out, bring my knees in, out, in, and use the upper
hand, of course. I can just use the hands I can play with the
hands like this. Zoom, doom, doom,
doom, Dom, Dom, dom, dom, dom, dom. Zoom, Zoom. All these things
you can do, okay? So finger control, it's
using your finger, okay? To practice waving. You're gonna learn waving
on this course anyway. But yeah, this is
how you can use finger control simple as that.
10. HAND CONTROL: About your hands, you can
use your hands as well. So hand control, the same
as a finger control, but you're just using
your whole hands, open fingers spread out. Again, you're going
over, tracing your body up down side to
side, go above your head. I guess you be like, Whoa,
you can turn your head, then turn your shoulder,
then turn your legs and turn your legs and turn your shoulder and
then turn your head. All these crazy things you can do. So again, you're
just going up. And down your body. Almost like you're putting
lotion on your body. Put that lotion on your body
lotion on the body lotion, put some lotion around the
back like this in a cool way. Lotion, lotion. Instead of just putting
lotion here like this, bring that hand around and
put the lotion on that so. Go around the back. Boom. Bring up the knee, boom, ta. Spreading, spreading. Te. Make your leg
go out of the leg. Boom, boom. Put that lotion on your body. You can do magic fingers like this if you want to make
it more interesting. Again, don't overthink
this. You're just going over, tracing
over your arm. If I go over my elbow, there's only one way my elbow can go. Be thinking absolute.
But how do I do that? How many ways can you move your elbow joint?
It's a hinge joint. It's only one we can move. You can't move like
forward or back. You go over your elbow
and it moves, okay? Can you just move it. Okay? So I'm purposely not
giving that cgivhy here. Because it's not a
rogphy course for one, but two, I don't want to overthink No I keep saying
this, I really don't want to. I want to understand and experience the freedom
of people dancing. Just put on that
cream, play around. You can practice what I'm doing
sort freestyle right now. You can put the video
on slow motion. If that happens if that's
baby bonus video play, I think it is. Okay? I'm not thinking right
now I'm going around, green around the back
and turn around, hair form round my head, take off my hat, put it back on. Was that on purpose, who knows. Put play with the feet. Do do go back into
the finger control. Man, you already know.
11. KICK BALL CHANGE: To do a kickball change. If you're a dancer already, you've probably done a kickball change before without even realizing it or you totally do realize it. It's
as simple as this. Let me face the front. All we're going to do is flick 1 ft, come back, that same foot. Then the other foot
is going to come up and touch the
floor. Simple as that. Five, six, seven, eight, flick that right foot or
left foot, come back. Change. Now, the leg
that's in front now, you're going to flick that
one, click it forward, bring that back, step
the other foot forward. So flick, pull, change,
click, pull, change. From the side, it
will look like this. Click, bull, change, click, pull change from the back, like so, flick, pull, change, flick, p,
change. Other side. Click, ball, change, click, p change or kick ball, change, however you want to this
motion as. So that's it. That's all the flick ball
change or kickball change is. And just a ball
change will simply be changing your weight from
1 ft to the other foot, from 1 ft to the other foot, from 1 ft to the other foot. Okay? Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. Back, together, forward.
Back together, forward. That's a simple ball change. Basically, you are
changing your feet, changing the rate from
1 ft to the other foot. So that's a kickball change. Don't overthink that. Rewind
the video again to watch it for more clarity. But yeah, welcome to the flick
Ball or kickball change.
12. KICK BALL CHANGE VARIATION: Nice kickball change variation
you can do is as follows. Kick in front, land, across, and then step out. Five, six, seven, eight, kick, and with a bounce, and then step out or step out with
a bounce up to you. Five, six, seven, eight,
kick, Ball, change. I recommend bouncing actually since it's a hip hop course, five, six, seven, eight,
kick, full, change. Then from here,
you're going to kick your left leg now because most of your weight
should be your right leg. Kick, go cross, Ball, change. Back to square one. Kick, bull, change, kick, fall, change, kick, ball change. Can also cross behind
for a variation. You can go kick to the
side, cross behind. And the n out, boom. Then kick to this side, cross behind, out, boom. So look like this, seven, eight, kick, four, change. Kick, fall, change,
kick, for change. So this is a nice variation. Boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom. You can do it with
a kick ball change. It counts to be like so.
It's not a fast variation, although you can make
it fast if you want to. But I would recommend just
chilling like this, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, bounce, three, four. Other side, one, two,
bounce, three, four. Take your time. There's
no need to rush this. Okay, so I'd recommend doing
a double bounce at the end. Again, five, six,
seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. Straight from the
other side, five, six, seven, eight, one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. Casual, cool calm collected. Kickball change or flick
Ball change variations.
13. HOW TO HEEL TWIST: Now for the hell twist. Now, the hell twist isn't an official name within hip hop, and I didn't invent this
movement, no, no, no, but I gave it a name just to help with teaching
purposes, okay? So I call this the heel twist. So all we're going to do is twist on my heel funnily enough. I'm going to turn
my right foot with the toes on my right
foot facing outwards. Boom, to the right. Boom. Again, boom. Let's just do this,
get comfortable. Little tap, bam, bam, bam, bam, twisting out. If I was to twist
to my left side, I'll turn my left foot, the
toes facing out to the left. Boom, tap, pom, tap,
as simple as that. Don't overthink it,
like I keep saying. So from here, as I twist to the right now
at the exact same time, I'm going to land my left leg, left foot behind, step it
behind the right foot. Like saw. Boom. As I twist on
the heel on my right foot, I'm also going to step
behind with my left foot. Five, six, seven,
eight, twist, five, six, seven, eight, twist, five, six, seven, eight, twist. Now, from here, step your left leg back out
facing the same direction, which for me right
now is the right. Now I'm going to turn my
left foot out to the left. Again, heel is what's connected to the
floor, not my toes. Turn to the left and
then I'm going to bring my right foot behind.
Then guess what? I'm going to step
my right foot out. Again, facing the same direction I'm facing in, then twist. Step out, twist, step out, twist and turn your body, turn your whole body,
step out, twist, step out, twist, step out, twist, step out, twist. Now, I'm not saying
this to be funny, but I call this the heel twist because you're
twisting on your heel. Again, after many
years of teaching, I see some students almost
every single time, actually, I would say in class, at least
some people will do this. They will move the heel,
which is totally fine. They're just learning, okay? But if you're moving your
heel, then this is more of a toe twist because the toes
are on the floor, right? But it's a heel
twist. So you keep your heel on the floor because it's twisting on your heel. So keep that in mind you may be doing that right now yourself.
You may be doing this. This, this. That's
something else. I shave it on the
front. Don't do this. See how my heel is moving? No, we want the hel to stay
stuck and the toes to go out. Boom, boom. In fact, let me show you su
from the front now. So I'm going to go to my right.
Now let's go to the left. I'm going to turn on my heel, see my toes come off the floor, then step behind,
at the same time, my body is facing the same way. I'm in alignment. Boom.
Everything facing the same way. Bring my right foot out,
facing the same direction. So it just makes sense to twist that way and
it's easier to twist. If I step out like this,
there's no way to twist. Okay, step here.
Twist on the heel. Step behind. Step out, twist on the heel, step behind. And I do land with
a bounce, okay? I bend my knees. I even bounce here when I'm
doing it properly. So I bounce here and here. Everywhere. Every time
I step, it's a bounce. Boom. B. Ta, boom, ta, boom, ta, boom, ta,
boom, ta, okay? So this is the hel twist. A very good move to learn. There are lots of movements. You can do from this. And I recommend you get
this in your body. You can go twice to
the same side as well. Boom, boom. Just repeat what you do twice. Boom, boom, boom,
just like this, like this and just like this
and just like this and.
14. GESTURES & POSES: Pop is a culture. You see rappers doing
this with their hands. Yo, yo, yo, speaking
with their hands. It's what we do
within this culture, we speak with our hands. It's also going to cross over into dancing because
why it's culture. Things bleed into
each other, okay? The rap bleeds into the dance. The dance bleeds into the rap, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Deja and graffiti all
bleeds into each other. So gesturing with your
hands, guess what? This is hip hop. Okay? So
use this with your dancing. You can have your hands out
here, forward, like so. You do one hand
forward, one hand side, you can go up you can
cross, open, cross, open. Your palms can be facing down or forwards. It's
really down to you. Like what you're saying, what's up, what you know about me. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Posing, can fold your arms. Posing, however you
want to fold your arms. I'm just trying to hit
my microphone, okay. Bam, bam, one hand on the chin. This is posing now, okay? So if I'm doing my basic steps, I can be like this, can
pose here, boom, boom. Hand on the head, gesturing, while I'm doing my basic steps. This is still dancing.
Don't overlook that, okay? Gesturing with your hands. There's something I like
to call swag hands. I've been teaching
this for a while. I call these swag hands. So this is my hand, of course. Would curl my little finger in and the finger
next to it like this. Even my hand more character. My hand is alive now. It's like the thing from
Adam's family, okay? So helping your hands like
this, in all seriousness, is going to give a bit more swag and styling to your
gesturing, as well. Don't have to always do it, but it's more saggy. It's like, Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Another thing you can
do actually, yeah, bring your arms
back, being hair. Extend any angle you do, you're just placing your arms in different dimensions.
Look at this now. I'm pushing forward, like, Yo, sounds too bright.
Yo, boom, boom. Hands on my head, like like
I'm thinking. Boom, boom. Kind of looks like I'm
doing some type of martial arts, hipop
martial arts. And, of course, come
down low. Same thing. Forward, out, forward, out. Don't overthink this, okay? You can imagine that
you're a rapper right now. So gesturing, posing, this is part of the
dance of hip hop.
15. HOW TO ALF: How to do the A F. We're
going to do some bouncing, but the bouncing is going
to be in my hips now. So instead of
bouncing the knees. You are going to
bounce to the knees, but also want you to stop
bouncing the knees first. But then also want
to bounce with hips, by going, you can
go back like this. Ball like you sitting
down on your knees, sit sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. The next part of this is I
want you to really push, really extend your hips
toward deliberately. And one and two. One, two, one. I noticed it said
and we start on the and count, which
is a half count. The half count is just
before the whole count. So it's and one and two. Okay? So just before the B. So you go and one and two, and one and two, and one and two, one and two. Now I'm going to practice
going to the sides. That side and that
side, like so, and one and two, one, two, and two and two. And don't be shy about
using your hips there. You have to use your
hips. You have to push. I understand about
this area, you know, but you have to get over it when it comes
to dancing, okay? Because in certain movement, it's going to make the move
look much better because if you tense, it can be seen. If you're self conscious,
it can be seen, right? So you just to let go the inhibitions and
push the hip forward. Yeah. Yeah. So A one and two, one and two. Next thing is you
raise your leg. So I'm going to go
and push this side. Notice my body leaning. So my weights mainly hair. Then I'm going to raise that leg by the same time on a one. Sounds confusing, but it's not. And one. See? Told you. And one. So I'm still pushing my hips in that direction,
I'm lifting up the leg. And one and two, and one and two, one, two. Again, I say example,
cut right now, five, six, seven, eight,
and one and two, and one and two, and one and two, one and two, shop on the back, 78, and one, two, one, two, and one, two, and one and two. Notice as well, my knees don't
go so high off the floor. Nor do my feet. I'm
not doing this. It's more about pushing that
hip to get that feeling. My arms now casually, do this with my thumbs on the index finger
like I'm holding two spoons. It's
not fit exactly. It's a bit aggressive for
this move, just like so. I just go down over the leg like I'm breaking a pencil again hitting some spoons down. Looks like this, my
arms go up and seven, eight, I'm central here, one. And central, two, and one set on each one hand on each side
of the leg and one and two, and one and two, and one, two, and
one and two, one, two, one and two, one, two, one cand double up. Ta, ta. Now, to add a bit more to it, you can do this with
the feet, okay? So what am I doing, I'm
twisting my heel inwards. So as I lift up one leg, the leg that's on
the floor, that heel is going to twist in like this. So boom, boom. Instead of keeping it flat, I literally twist it and I
go on a ball of the foot. Now it's like this. Huh. Huh. Was stylish, right? Oh, I may notice sometimes one hand goes behind my back like this. That's, again, just a
feeling thing, okay? So it's not a right or wrong, just go with how you feel. But definitely concentrate on
bringing those hands down. Don't bring the hands
down like this. You don't punch down,
you place them. Placing, you don't want
to break the glass table. Okay? This will break
the glass table. Huh. Soft cause the power comes from the rest of the body. Two, three, two,
two. Shapen back. I'm going to go this
way first, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, and no more. Five, six, seven,
eight, and one, two, three, four, and
one, two, three, four. This is how you do The lf. But also before we go. Also,
I don't need to do this. For many years, I see
that happen sometimes. What's wrong with this picture? My body's going forward
when my leg raises. No. Your body should be
back when your leg raises. Why? What do you said at the beginning, List you
right at the beginning. Your hips go back and then
forward, B, and then forward. When you hit the forward,
your body should be back. Okay? It's pretty hard to put hips forward and your
body forward as well. We're not feel like that, okay? So it hips forward, your body is actually
going to go back, and that's the one
count. So and one. No, and one. One, no, and prepare, shop side. One, and one. You body should be back
on the one, one, one. So if you're doing
this at any point, that's wrong. See you
in the next video.
16. HOW TO A TOWN STOMP: A town stomp, but
it's not crump. I'm going to
challenge you to get this move in less than a minute. It's not hard at all.
I'm going to face the other way just
so you can see. So let's go straight into it. I'm going to kick
once in my right leg and kick a second time. On the second time, I'm going
to jump just like this. Kick, kick a second
time and jump. Left side, kick, kick a
second time, and jump. Kick as I go to scoop
that kick again, I'm going to jump off
the floor and land. Kick, scoop and jump. So it's like this one
and two, one and two. That's basically
the A town stump. With our arms, we can land with a cross arms cross
or bring our arms down and make sure
you actually stump the floor as you land
for the A town stump, seven, eight, one
and stump, two, and stump, three,
and four and down. So that's it. Now,
to add more flavor, you can do this little
groove I like to do. Kick out to the side, then cross, and then
begin your a town stop. Out or away from
your body across, then you a town stop. This is just a little
bonus variation for you. So out across, boom, boom, ta, out, across, boom, boom, ta. You see I'm doing this with
my arms. But that's optional. It does make sense to go to open with your
arms and cross, as it crosses, as it just feels really flowy,
but you don't have to. You can keep your arms
behind the back if you want. Boom, boom, ta, boom, ta, boom, boom, ta, okay? You can go twice the
same side, boom, bum, ta, bom, bom, ta, bom, bom, ta. It's really down to you.
Welcome to the A town stomp.
17. HOW TO BART SIMPSON: Aquel, man. Who's that's
that's a Bot Simpson, yes. Okay. Bad joke? Okay, cool. Alright, calme down. So Bot Simpson. Listen learn to Bot
Simpson, a very fun, sociable party dance
that anyone can pick up in seconds if
you're out and about, and you're not worrying too
much about your technique. But this is a course, of course, so now you can't actually worry about the technique a bit, cause I'm gonna help. I'm
gonna hold your hand. So what we're gonna do is I feel drawn to actually show you from the back
from the get go. So I'm gonna slide
to my left, okay? Like, so Boom. How
did I do that? I stepped my left leg out, and then I simply slid the other leg or
dragged it behind. Okay? Step the left leg
out. Slide the right leg. You can open your
legs, your body out a bit to your angle. Okay. I go to the other side,
I put my right leg out, drag the upper leg behind. I can open out. It's
really how you feel it. With the arms my arms, I'm going to have fist position, and I'm going to do
this when I slide. Left arm is short hair,
my right arm is longer. Okay? Cross my chest,
show you from the front. Boom. Is hair, boom, heir. So, boom. This is what I'm going
to do when I'm sliding. So let's go to our left and
the arms go to our right. I see as your arms
being behind you, your fist, seven, eight, jom five, six, seven, eight, jom five, six,
seven, eight, jom. Now we want to get
a bit of twist. So as we do this, let's actually twist our
body and step out that way. I'm also going to look in the direction I'm going as well. Twist. Okay? So my hips
are literally twisting, five, six, seven, eight, twist. Okay, I can feel
my hips twisted. If I show you just to
prove that I'm twisted, boom, this means
resetting myself, okay? My legs will here,
boom, reset myself. So I really am twisting my hips. Five, six, seven, eight, one. From my head to finish the move, I'm gonna look forward,
bring the leg in, and rock my hands up.
I bring my hands in. As I bring my leg in as well, I work my hands up casually. I lean back a bit slightly
as well for a nice rock. I go to the other
side, I'm going to twist my hips to my right now, my arms can go to my left, I'm
going to look to my right. Sounds like a lot,
but you can just watch it and see how it looks, seven, eight, one, two, one. And this is, guess
what, the Bart Simpson. Let me straight from
the other side. Zoom. Ta. Zoom, ta and one
and two, and three. A variation you
can do at the end is instead of going
up with your hands, give you a free variation here, bring your hands down, like so, and go on your toes.
Boom, like this. Boom. Ta. Boom. Ta. Boom, ta. Boom, ta. Another really
nice variation that you definitely will benefit having is I'll call it doubling up, basically doubling
up your slide. Instead of going one, you're going to do another two slides. You're gonna go one and two. So it's not technically double, but you do more slides
and then rock out. So slide slide, slide, then rock your arms back. Slide, slide. Slide. Maybe we should call
it at times three. Boom. Boom, boom, ta. O, two, three, ta, one, two, three, ta. Notice, when I'm doing
this more casualty, you see my arms are
not very straight, as I showed you in
the beginning, just to get you to
understand what to do. My arms are kind of like hair
at an angle. Casual, guys. Casual, boom, mom. Ta oom, a room. I get low. Ba Ba. I can open my legs if I want. Boom, boom. Hey. Hey. Hey, boom. Hey. Hey. Hey, boom. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey,
hey, hey, Heary, Heary. Hey, hey, boom,
boom, boom, boom. You do a lot with that dance. You also travel forwards
as well, and back. Boom, boom, boom. Welcome to the bot. Boat have a cow man Simpson.
18. HOW TO BROOKLYN BOUNCE: Now this is possibly my most favorite move
to do, to teach, to play around with
in hip hop dance is called the Brooklyn bounce, AKA BK bounce, AKA Crisscross. Depending on who
you're talking to, which pioneer, you may
get different names. As always, don't put
too much on the names. It's more about having fun with the move. So this is the move. Let's start with the body first. Let's connect to our torso. What we're going to
do is we're going to rock forward like saw. Straightforward. We've been over rocking in this course already. Bam, bam. Hanging forward. Boom, boom. Casual as you can. Boom. Boom shoulders not
back, shoulders relaxed. So not supposed to look sick, cool, you're just
moving your body. Okay? That's going to go with
the music and the feeling. Your hands now,
see this as well, I like to see as having my
hands on an imaginary table. So they're not flex like
this, they're landing, the hands, they're on a
table on the surface. So from here, I'm going to bring my fingers to meet each other. Bam. Just like that. Just turning at the
wrist, meet each other. And now I can't
help but to laugh because I often say in my open classes to some
people who do this, don't do this because it
looks like Gangnam Style. Okay? That's not the same dance. You might like that dance,
you might not, whatever. Here to debate it, but we're not doing Gangnam Style, okay? So, have your arms open
because it's cleaner. It looks nicer. I'm not saying never ever
cross your arms, but this is just for cleaner. So this is your count
and then one and two, and three and four. Your body is gonna rock
forwards in the one, the two, the three, the four,
with the hands going in. Like so, five,
six, seven, eight, and one and two, and three and four. Remember, this is
your hand count when you open out your hands, boom, and chest may
rise slightly as well. Mind girls, it
goes out slightly. And one and two, and one and two, and three, and four, one and two, and three, and
four, one and two, and three, and four and
two, and three and four. Okay? Gonna got that rock going. The legs are super simple. They're super simple, but
they're stylish, as well. Hate, because you're
going to cross your legs. So you go on your toes
on the hand count. So this is me relax, go jump onto my toes
on the hand count. What else do we do
on the hand count? We do this right with our hands. So five, six, seven, eight, and. Again, five, six,
seven, eight, and. All you're adding right
now is this little jump on your toes with big toes
on the hand count. Five, six, seven, eight, and. Now, from here, when
we rock fourd on the one on the hole counts
and bring our hands in, we're going to cross our legs. Okay? That's all
we're going to do. 1 ft goes in front of the other. The other leg goes
behind the other. Like so, this is hand count one. Okay? So now my legs are cross. I open out, and guess what? I'm gonna change my legs now. Now, this leg is gonna go in front. This leg will go behind. Two, I'm going to change, open out and repeat
from number one, one and two, and one and two, and one and two, and one and two,
and one and two. That's the Brooklyn bounce. But, of course, there's always
ways to make the move look better with variations,
adding more feeling. And feeling again, comes
from your emotions, how you feel in that moment, okay, and how you feel with
the music. That's playing. So one thing you can do that I love doing that
will instantly give you more more swag
more and make it look like you're feeling
the move more is leaning. So inclining your
body to the sides, literally to the side, to the side, to the side. So if I face the camera,
you see I'm literally leaning towards a shoulders
going towards the camera. I'm not going here,
here, here, boom, boom. However, to be
completely honest, to give you the insider tips, what I'm really doing
is I'm leaning slightly backwards diagonal. So
there's options there. They're going to back
or literally straight, inclining laterally. It's up to you. It
will look like this. When I lean to my right, my right leg would
be crossed in front. I'll go five, six, seven, eight, I'll go and then I'm going to lean to my right as
I bring my hands together as I rock and
as I cross my legs. Boom. Okay? As you can see, my body is slightly
off center now, as opposed to being
hair, it's hair. Then I'm going to open out and guess what I'm gonna lean to my left now as I bring my
left leg in front. To. Again, I'm slightly off center. Don't have to be super, super leaning. There's
no need for that. You want to feel comfortable. Okay? It's a comfortable dance. Open out, lean to the side. Open out, side, and one and two, and one and two, and and two. As you can see now,
I'm doubling up. It's another
variation you can do. Basically go twice
on the same side. Okay? Don't overthink that. You're just going twice
on the same side. I'll show you again
slowly. And one, Back to center, then
back to where he was. See? Open out again
to the other side. Back to center, then
back to where he was. That's a really good way
to vary what you're doing. And I love doing that
as well, like so. And one and two and double. And one, two, and double, boom, boom, and double,
hey, hey, and double. Notice I close my hands. You can close your
hands, as well. You can have hands open, close. It really doesn't matter
your hand position really. But generally, I think
most people like to have fingers open. Okay,
instead of clothes. Office. Fist works
as well sometimes. But it's really down to
you. More tips you can do to add more feeling is
roll your shoulders forwards. Like so on the one
count. And one. Running forward. And two, and one and two, and one, two, one and two, one and two, one and two, one, two, one, two. Do. Huge. Wrap. Back. Up to you. I'll show you that from
the back. Seven, eight. And one and two, roll and roll. B, B and roll. An open hand, no shoulders. No shoulder roll. Doubling up. Woo, wom, lean, lead, and lean, lead, and lead, lead and turning around. Boom. Welcome to the Brooklyn
Bouts. Such a cool move.
19. HOW TO SPONGEBOB: How to do the sponge bob? I love doing the sponge bob. So the sponge bob
goes like this. Let me show you from
the other side. It would definitely
make more sense. So I'm going to
kick my right leg out like this and
then hook it behind. So this is the count, by the way, this is
the whole count. Five, six, seven,
eight, and one. Five, six, seven, eight, and one other side, five, six, seven, eight, and one, same side, five, six, seven, eight, and one. Notice, I'm, of course, shifting to this leg
because it's supporting me. Okay? I'm lifting one leg up, so I have to put my weight on the other leg naturally, okay? So that's the sponge
bob essentially. We're just going to
add another element. Okay? In fact,
before we move on, one tip I like to give people is when you are hooking
head hooking your head, hooking your leg behind, actually do focus on
a part of your foot. Me personally, I
focus on my heel. I really focus on
that going back, like Imagine there's
a football there, I'm kicking the football, okay? I'm being intentional
with what I'm doing here. Bam, I'm not just like,
Hey, swing my legs. No, no, no. There's a
lot of leg to swing. I'm just rittling my whole leg down to the heel in
terms of my focus. Boom, boom, boom. So that makes it easier for me to not get confused
when I go faster. So now we have this. Let's get comfortable
with changing our feet. So we're going to go
here first on the count. Come back one. Now, from here, you simply going to
kick the other leg out. The leg that's on the
floor, you're going to flick it out to
the other side. Bam. And of course, you're gonna land on the other leg when you
have two legs, right? Now, this leg is
gonna go behind. Then you're gonna flick the leg that's on
the floor again, which now my right
leg to the side. Boom. And that's your count. Come back one, other side, and come back two. Okay? Now, we do the same thing, but we bounce like this. I'll go to my right
side first, five, six, seven, eight, and one. Click to the other
side, and two. Click to the other
side, and three. And one and two, and three and four, and one and two, and three and four, and one and two,
and three and four. One and two, and three
and four, one and two. And I can turn
around one and two, and twice the same slide. One and two, and three and
four. This is the sponge bob. You arms, they are just
free, essentially. Sometimes I like
to twist, as well. So and twist and twist and
twist and twist and twist. So instead of just being hair, when I hook the leg behind, I twist my body to the other direction and
twist and twist and twist. That's down to you.
Welcome to the Sponge Bob. I was gonna try
and do his voice, but I can't do his voice.
20. HOW TO DOUGIE : Back my favorite people. So, now we're going
to do the doggy, very trendy dance
back in the day. People thought it was
only a trend, but hey, it's still trending.
There's only one school. There's the school.
It's called hip hop. People used to diss
it back in the day. Hey, the dance is
still here, right? So why knock things that,
you know, kids are doing, younger people are doing
and having fun with, you know, if it's helping
them express themselves. So the doggie is a
very nice groove. I've always liked
it. I've always thought the groove
was incredible. Quite frankly, no
less than incredible. It's a really good groove, and it's moved into other dances, too, like the drop, for example. So how do we do it? So this I'm going to teach you, first of all, would be
the harder way to do it. If you could do the harder
way, the easier way would be like nothing, okay? And the easier way is
actually like nothing. So first of all, we're
going to two step one, two, one, two, two, one, two. Okay? Notice, as I'm doing
my simple two step, I'm actually turning my body slightly away from the
leg that I step in. So when I step from my left leg, I turn slightly to face
the right to my body. Come together. When I
step out of my right leg, I turn slightly to face
the left with my body. Boom, ta, boom, ta, boom, ta, just slightly.
And it's optional. I recommend start doing this. You can get more feeling and groove when you actually
start doing a Duggi. Now, where does the Duggi groove come into this?
The Duggi groove. Comes into it with your
shoulders, do do do do do. We're going to step out of
the left leg, for example. Then as I come in with my right leg as if
I'm do step again, I'm actually going to roll my right shoulder when I step
with my right leg, like so. Step out, roll my
right shoulder up and forwards as I bring
my right leg in. Okay? So again, step out, roll. Opposite now. Step
out right leg. As I bring my left leg in, I'm going to roll
my left shoulder up forwards and back to neutral. Step out, roll, bound. Step out, roll, bam,
step out, roll. Roll. So this is your and. This is your one and two, and one and two, and one and two, and one and two, and roll and roll. And now, maybe you can see there's a bit more
groove going on, okay? And maybe feel it hopefully
you can feel it right now. I'll show you in
the back right now. So this is a two step
Turning my body, swinging my body,
turning my body slightly the opposite direction. Now again, as I bring
my right leg in I'm gonna roll my right
shoulder forwards, opposite for, and one and two, and one and two, and one and two, and very slowly now
and two, and roll one, and roll two, and roll free
and again and roll one, and roll two, and roll three, and roll four. Okay. So step, roll, step,
roll, step, roll. This is basically
the duddy groove. Then you add arms. You arms will be here just
casually chilling. Don't worry too much about
where your arms are, but just have them
hair casually, boom, boom. One hands
above the other. Doesn't really matter too much. Don't overthink the arms. They're just hair or hair or hair or hair, wherever
you want to put them. But start having them
in front of your body. Now as I do the motion, my arms are going to naturally move and make the
move look bigger. But I'm not going to
intentionally move my arms. So slowly again. I'm going to step on my
left leg first, five, six, seven, eight, and
the shoulder, two, and three, and four
and one and two, and three and four. Boom, tap, boom, ta ta, I do this bit quicker. I'm doing the Duggi, okay?
I'll show it from the back. And one and two, and roll and four. Bam. Again, if I speed it up now, doing a doggy groove. So it's not easy to get. I don't expect all of you to get this straightaway if you've
never done a Duggi before, particularly if you're new
to hip hop in general, or dance in general.
But keep persevering. You can get it. Ont teach it if I didn't think you could get it. That wouldn't make sense. But this is why I invented
the in button for you. That is the doggy groove, the harder way, but definitely the most swaggy way
I would suggest.
21. HOW TO DOUGIE V.2: Or another way to do the
Duggi which may be easier, it includes the same
elements as this one. Only difference is
you're going to be more active with your arms. So I'm still going to give
him a two step like so. I'm still going to
roll the same shoulder with the same leg like this, this, this, this, but I'm
now going to add my arms. So on the one, my arm
will be next to my side, right, like so, okay? So I'm going to go
and one and two, and one and two.
But not just that. As I come in, I'm going
to roll or rebound into the shoulder roll
and one and two, and three and four and. So it's a rebound into
the shoulder roll. Don't be too
mechanical with this, stop, stop, stop, stop. Now. And one and two, and the three, and the
four and and the boom. Boom, ta, ta, do, do. Oh, boom boom, boom, and one and two, and one and two. Okay? So only thing you add
them is this arm. So again, instead of
doing this with the arms, like so, you're gonna
bring your arm in, and it's gonna rebound off
of your side, like so, and one and two, and three and four, and one and two, three, and straight from the
other side, two, boom, and boom, and boom,
rebound, and rebound. Rebound, rebound, rebound, boom. Ta, ta, ta, ta, teach
me how the doggy. Teach me, teach
me how the doggy. Wow. Boom, boom, boom. Welcome to the other
way to do the doggy.
22. HOW TO DOUGIE V.3: Now for the easiest way to do
the Duggi hands down 100%. It's still going to
do the two step, but you don't really
need to twist your body, as we did before. Boom, boom. You don't need to roll
your shoulders at all. Only thing I would add
to give you some swag, some feeling that
you can work with is on the second step,
bend both knees. So one, two, one, two. Other than that,
it's very simple. This is your two
step for this one. Okay? So now you're
going to go one, two. But as you do the one, two, you're going to pretend
you're driving a car, big steering wheel, with the opposite arm to the
first leg that you moved. So if I move my left leg, we use my right arm. Do this curving motion
like I'm driving. Like so. One, two, o arm stays
down to and opposite, three, four, one, two, three, four, one,
two, three, four. My arms are quite close to
my side. I'm not like hair. Not too far away. They're
quite close to my side. A pretend you're
brushing your hair. Boom, boom. Teach
me how to ducky. Teach me, teach me how to ducky. Ta. Ta. I can also nod my head as well
for get more feeling. Boom, ta ta, boom, boom, boom. Ta. Sh, sh. Play around with this one. Definitely the simplest version. Again, just pretending you are driving a car or
brushing your hair. Can get low, come up high, boom, twice. Same side. Boom, boom, boom, ta, ta, ta. Boom, boom, ta, ta,
ta. Doggie. Yeah.
23. HOW TO JANET JACKSON: Welcome back. How to
do the Janet Jackson. So we're going to simply
flick our hands like this. These are my hands
relaxed. This is me flicking the hands, okay? Fingers facing the
sky. Boom, boom, boom. At the same time, we're going
to flick our head upwards. Don't overextend
your head, casually. Tilt, nod your head upwards. At the same time as you,
flick your hands like this. So one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two. Those are the hands
and the head. That's the most important
part of this move. Other than that,
we have the steps. So if I go to my left hand side, I'm going to step with
my left foot first. When I bring my right
leg towards my left leg, I'm going to bounce on the two. So it looks like
this, five, six, seven, eight, one,
two, then repeat. Go up. One, two, five, six, seven, eight, one,
two, one, two. Hey. Hey, let's go
to the other side. Five, right leg, going
to the right side. First, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, one, two. Now, this is the move. When we add our arms
and the head flick, with the steps within
the Janet Jackson. Only difference
now with the arms is we want to put
our arms behind us. So if we're going to the left, our arms are gonna be over here. We're going to the
right, our arms are going to be over here, okay? Behind your body,
as you're flicking. Important tip.
Sometimes some students don't click on
every single step. Please click on
every single step. It might feel a bit ride in the beginning, but that's
what you got to do. Okay? So literally
every time you step on the floor, you click up. You relax, you click up, you relax, you click
up on every step. So let's go slowly to this side. Very slowly, in fact,
five, six, seven, eight, click and click. Click and click. Again, click and click,
click and click. To other sides, five, six, seven, eight, ons
behind them here now, click, click and click, click and click,
click and click. Now, generally
speaking, we usually do it twice before we
go to the other side. How do we change the other side? It's as simple as lifting a leg up and going
to the other side. I'm saying that because I
don't want to overthink it. It really is as simple as that. It looks like this very slowly. We go that side twice, and then I'm going to turn to the other side and
break it down for you. Five, six, seven, eight, one and two, and three and four. Now my right leg is
simply going to come off the floor as I move my
arms to the other side. To then step over here
and I'll land in a flick. Then come down,
flick, flick, flick. Now, when you are transitioning
from side to side, remember to keep
this flick going, this and click, and
click, and click. That doesn't stop just because you're turning.
Actually, what I mean? I go this way first,
seven, eight, and one and two, and to the end is when you're
relaxed, three and four. So when I lift up my leg
to go to the other side, I'm still going
to relax my hands and my head to then flick up as I land on the other
side and then relax my hands in head again to
click again on the bounce. Click, click. Relax, click,
click, click, click. It's actually harder
doing it slowly. I stray from the other side. Five. I go that way to
my left, six, seven, eight, one, two,
three, four, change, one, two, three, four, change, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, and a
five, six, seven, eight. It can feel awkward with the change from one
side to the other side, keeping that head going. But this is why you need to
be coordinated doing this. Just get comfortable
just play some music. Get comfortable doing
this on the beat. So you can go and, which
is your neutral position, one and bounce two, and one and bounce
three, one, four, and one and two, three and four, and one
and two, three and four, and one and two, three and four, and one and two, three and four. Get comfortable
with that first. Because then when you start
going from side to side, it won't feel like
you're doing anything different other than
turning your direction. You won't have to think, okay, relax my hands, relax
my head, then flick up. You won't have to think
that. Once you have this on autopilot, that's
the level we want to get to. So once again, it looks
like this, seven, eight. And one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four and five, and a six,
and a seven, and an eight. My arms are not super
straight as well, when they're behind, they can be straight or I can relax them. There can be some
bend in the elbow. That's fine. So, yeah, you know how to do
the Janet Jackson. Oh, do you.
24. HOW TO STEVE MARTIN: Uh oh, oh, sorry. Steve Martin. So I heard from one of the
hipop pioneers that the reason that this movie is
called Steve Martin is because in one of his films, Steve Martin, actor, I
forget the name of the film, unfortunately, but he's
doing some real dancing. Apparently, some
guys in the club or one guy in the club was, like, playing around with
that and missing around. Before you know it,
this movement came. And then Steve Martin dance. Let me teach you the
actress Steve Martin now. It doesn't look like
this, it's been codified. So I'm going to stand with
one back, 1 ft forward. My leg do not cross
to my front heel my front, I do not
cross like this. Feel my front. There's a
gap here. There's no cross. A back leg is going to go
forward like this with a knee, one, I step back, raise a knee two,
forward again, three. So let's just do that.
One, two, three, five, six, seven, eight,
one, two, three, again, five, six,
seven, eight, one, two, three, one more, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three. Now I'm trying to add a
bit more rock like this. One, two, three,
just a little bit. Okay, four down one, back on
two, four down and three. Five, slowly, seven, eight, one, two, three, two more times, seven, eight, one, two, three, one more time, seven, eight, one, two, 16. So now we want to
do that and four. This is a tricky part. So we're going to go five,
six, seven, eight. We're gonna go one, two, three, to get to this position. Now you're going to put
the leg that's in the air. Kick it back like a
donkey kicks straight. I call this donkey kick. That's your count, my
body still where it is. I'm going to twist on four. Now if it's in this way I put my leg down and you
don't have to count, but it's and then up leg goes into the one, two, and three. Double side. Kick back
on the twist, four. You have one, two, three, twists or kick
sorry, don't twist yet. Four, one, two, three, and four. One, two, three, and four, five, six, seven, and eight. Now, one thing I know is going to be happening
with some of you is this one, two, three, and one. So with the balance,
first of all, I haven't given you arms
yet, so that's okay. It'll be easier with the arms. But even without
the arms, do this, seven, eight, one, two, three, and that leg
up nice and high, one, two, three, and, Bing leg up nice and high. That's going to
help your balance. I'll show you with no arms, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, and four, one, two, three, and four. One, two, three, and four, one, two, three, and four. That helps my
balance. Now, arms, you guessed it same as before. You can swing or
just co the elbows. Typically, I like to
do this one to see Martin or just gesture my hands. You can just use your
elbows literally on each count. Let's try. Face this way first, five, six, slowly, seven, eight, one, two, three, and four and one, two, three, and four, and one. Two, three, and four, and one, two, three, and four. I as the back. This way first, five, six, seven, eight, one,
two, three, and four, one, two, three, and four, one, two, three, and four, and one, two, three, and four. Again, you can swing your
arms if you want to. One, two, three,
and four, casual. Totally up to you.
Also, the Steve Martin, you can do a walk like so, one, two, three, and four, one, two, three, and four. That's a bit more advanced.
But try and work it out. See you in the next video.
Steve Martin. Le one.
25. HOW TO WOP: Now, I want to keep in line with the head rock for a second. I'm going to introduce you
to a move called the Wop. And the wop isn't as easy as just simply
nodding your head. There is a feeling to it and a different motion
with it, okay? So this is the wop. You can see it has way more pasas. It's a bigger move.
Boom. It's really dancing right now, yeah. Bam, bam, compared to
this, which is small. Okay? So the wop how do we do? Many ways, of course, how I
like to teach it is this. Think of your chin
as like the leader, so to speak, going down, boom. That's your focus point.
Chin down, down, down. Okay? So as you go down, think of now you rebounded off of a magical bouncy
castle or something. Okay, boom, to go
to the other side. Or, like the head hog, if you remember that game,
bouncing on that red thing. So hit chin down, bounce the other side down,
bounce the other side. Boeing Bouncy car. So, hey, boom, bounce. Okay? So I'm going to start either at an angle or facing forwards. It
doesn't really matter. I can start facing forwards, go down, and then swing
to the other side, or start on the other side, and then go down and then
swing to the other side. Okay? So swing down up. Boom, boom. Rebound when your
chain comes down. Rebound, rebound, rebound. Now, know what some of you are doing. Some of
you are doing this. Don't turn your eyes
away from the front. Okay? That means you're doing way too much and
nobody asks for. Boom, boom, boom, okay? Down, up, down up,
kind of like a Okay? A U shape or V shape, boom. Now, that's not how I
would do it properly. That's just me teaching
you the mechanics of it. But to get the feeling
of it, the swing of it, you want to actually
think more swing and also don't stop your head
when you get to the back, like so, come down, swing, make a U shape. Now, at this point,
I'm not going to just stop dead. My floor. I'm going to keep my
head going until I naturally feel like
bringing it back forward, to go to the other side, until I naturally feel like bring it back forward to go
to the other side. Boom, boom, swing,
swing, swing, swing. And swinging so much now that, hey, my shoulders
are moving, okay? So my upper body is moving. Tilting to this side, when
my head is on this side, and it ts to this side when my head is on this side, okay? My body comes with it. Aah. Mm mm. Now, the wop is
mainly in the head, but we also use
our arms as well, doing the same direction, going down and
swinging up, down, swing up, down or swing to the side, down,
swing to the side. So if these hands are my chin, like I showed you
before, going down, then rebound, they
will rebound up, down, rebound up,
down, rebound up, but I'll swing it in a
more of a U shape, boom. Okay? And again, I won't just
stop dead when I come here. I'll swing and then bring
them down naturally. When I say naturally, I
mean, bring them down when you feel like
you're about to stop, add the head, boom,
boom, boom. Boom. It's kind of a dance where I would say it's
hard not to smile. Boom, ta, boom, ta. Do the wp. Let me show you to some music.
26. HOW TO WORM/CATERPILLAR: Really want to give you as much as possible in
this hip hop course, hip hop dance use course
that I'm even going to teach you how to do the worm or caterpillar, we don't
know how you learnt it. So I want you to
learn everything. I'm giving you all of me. So I don't want to
crush my microphone, so I will take my microphone off at some point to
show you the worm. But the beginning
of it will be this. So I'm on my all fours. I'm going to go down on
my, my lower stomach, so my thighs is roll in
the floor and then go down on my lower stomach
and then go right down. That's the wave, the position that you're
going to do, the positions. Again I go down, thighs first, then my lower belly
boom down. Okay? So to do the move, I'm now going to take my microphone off so
I don't crush it. And I still talk, so you
might not hear me as well. But main thing is right
now, what I'm doing. So now, when I come
to the chess pot, I'm going to keep
rocking forward and bring my legs up like this. At the same time or just
off that, I should say, I'm going to kick my legs out, both legs at the same time and push and land in a press
up position like this. Looks like so. Land boom push. Boom down, push it
properly now livid. Come up here, I say, come down. To. Now, to get the wave, when I come up here, I'm going to arch my back
to get the wave book. Let me go back a
bit so you can see. See that? That's the
wave. Looks like so. Okay. To travel forward. To travel forward,
I'm going to move my hand slightly
forward, each time. And now you know how to do
the worm caterpillar, please.
27. HOW TO SHAMROCK: Dance is used in both hip
hop and popping at minimum. So it's called the Shamrock. We're going to step to the side. I feel like facing the
other way for this one. So to begin, I'm going to
step to my right side. Where's this bird going?
Please go away for now. Just for now, please. Thank you. Thank you, Thomas. So, how to do this move? I'm going to step
to my right side, like so on the toe. Then I'm going to
twist on that leg, and I can turn the
other foot, as well. Now I'm facing this angle. I'm going to come together. Bring my feet together.
Then I'm going to do a little jump just like that. That's the whole move.
Five, six, seven, eight, step out,
twist straightaway, come together, little jump. Now, if I'm facing my left, my left foot will go out
to do the same thing. If I'm facing my right, it's the right leg, just as before. So now I'm facing my left. Let me go forward with my
left leg and do that twist. Five, six, seven, eight, step and twist
together, little jump. Right side, step out and
twist together, little jump. Left side, step, little
jump, step, little jump. Also, you can do the
jump facing forwards, so I can go out, not
twist my other leg out, and then just face to front. Boom, ta, boom, ta, boom, ta, or literally turn
the body. Bam, boom. Now, if you want to
add more feeling, As you can see, I'm moving
my shoulders like this. Boom. Like I'm
dropping my shoulders. Boom, ta. Dropping my shoulders. So the shoulder is dropping.
Boom, come together. Bam. Drop that shoulder here. Bam. Boom, ta. Boom, ta, boom, ta. Boom, ta. Boom, ta, boom, ta. And I'm on my toes. Boom, ta. If you want to, you can do a
sideways body roll, as well. So as I step to my left, I'm gonna roll my chest, left first, and
then to the right. Sideways, body roll. Boom.
Ta. Then the opposite. Now I'm going to hit my chest or send my
chest to my right then circle it around
to the left as a step with my right
foot like saw. Boom, ta. It will
look like this. Boom, ta, boom, ta. Round with the chest. Boom, ta, boom, ta, normal, now, boom, tap. Now, what's common to do
as well when you come to the section of the jump is to click your
fingers down like this. Or if you can't
click, just simply bring your hands down like saw, okay? Look like this. Boom. Okay, it's just
this, boom, boom. They don't have to come
right down here, bam, bam, as you jump. And I love doing
this personally. I just think the move
looks or feels sorry. Really, like, quite think
of a better word than cute. It feels really nice. Boom. Hey. Okay? And quite funky, too. So that's how you
do the Shamrock.
28. THREADING: Is threading? Well,
let's think about it. Think of a needle, which
has that little hole, a bit of thread, and
you're putting the thread through that hole.
Bringing out other side. That's what we call
threading, right? Same sort of concept.
Remember, this is a concept. This is not a move.
It's not like, Hey, everybody, let's
do the threading. Did that, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d. No. Okay. So all we're going
to do is make holes, make shapes with our bodies, and thread through that
hole or that shape. This is a hole, for example. I made a hole. There's no hole. I touched my shoulder.
Now there's a hole. Amazing, right? Now I'm gonna put my other hand
through this hole, okay? Through that gap. Okay? That's a thread. I can do it
the other side, of course. I'm thankful that
I have two arms. Boom, boom, boom. I can also
put my hand on my knee. Bam, bam, bam.
That's another hole. I can put my hand in here. I can change from the side, this is in the hole,
this is threading. Come the other
side a little bit. Here, put my hand
right the way in. Maybe some other people
can do more than me. Again, I say the holes and
shapes. This is a shape. Is shape. I could put
my hand underneath. I still see that as threading
as it's passing through. Okay? It's like passing through this line here.
You can go to other side. You can also thread
by putting one leg on top of the other leg like
this and then sit down. And then threading
through, boom, boom, boom, hello, boom,
boom, boom, ta, ta. One thing I like to do is this, try this one, click, and then thread through, and let that foot go
around. Other side. Flick, thread through,
let the foot go around. So it's like this pushing down this thread initiates
the leg going around. Boom, boom, ta, ta. Now, from here, you
can just twist, and then go about your business.
Go about your dancing. Again, hooking on the side. Thread, foot goes around, twist, and go about your
dancing.This is threading. I also cloth threading as just going around
your head as well. You're just circling
really. Like, literally, you're circling around
your head, but I just put it in the
threading category. It just makes sense to me
personally, maybe not to you. That's fine. Okay? You can go around your head either way. Okay, don't overthink
this, by the way. There's only two ways you can
go around your head, right? Round one way or around
the other way, okay? Round the back or
around the front. So pass the back of your
head or pass your face. Okay, straight from the
back. Boom, boom, boom. Okay, whichever way
you want to go. So another thing you can do with this one is you can circle
around your head like this, then land on your shoulders, or shoulder, around,
and on the shoulder. This is something I
teach quite often. It's a nice little
combo you can do. So you're going to thread around your head, land
on your shoulder, with the other hand in a blade, go through this gap,
through this gap. Then bring this hand towards the cramoc towards
the front like this, as the other hand goes
around and under. Another voice over
due to the wind. My right arm goes
around my face, around to the back and
then lands on my shoulder. My other hand, my free arm is going to go through
that hole that I created, then go towards the camera, just like so, and you're
going to extend it straight. The other hand goes across the
forearm like a typewriter. Remember those things? And I do that at the same time and
end up in this position. So again, really slowly
go around the face. Other hand goes
through that hole that gap with a blade, hand. And then from here,
you can just open out and do what you want, carrying freestyling
dancing, do your moves. And you can also
do the left arm, of course, go around your face, land on your shoulder, Nel through.This goes
over your forearm. This other hand,
right hand now goes towards the camera,
comes underneath. Boom. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom Zoom.
Isn't that cool? You can also, like,
raise the leg and really get funky with it. Zoom. Jo, jom ta. So I went slowly around. I went through, then at the end, I flex my foot. I brought my foot in
five, slowly, seven, eight, around jom ta. Or jom jom ta. Okay? Remember, this is
the more advanced section, so I'm not gonna spoon
feed you as much, but you can rewind. Just rewind what
I'm doing or play this on super slow motion, okay. Having said that, let's go super slow motion 'cause it's fun. Y through the gap. Whoa, boom. Come down. Over again. Wave the arm. I taught you how
to wave already. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I taught you how to head flow. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Round. Roller coaster. Zoom.
Bow. Boom. B. Yeah. So these are some
movements you can do with the concept
of threading.
29. SIDEWAYS HEAD ISOLATION: Sideways head
isolation, like so. I'm not going to
spend so long on this video because there's
not too much to talk about, but you do need this in order to do other head
isolation movements. So what I like to do when
I'm moving my head to the side as a way to not
turn and twist the head, which some students do
when they're learning, which is totally
fine on the journey. I say, imagine there's a
wall here so you can put your hand here and then hit
your hand with your head, just the head, boom,
sideways, sideways. Don't turn obviously,
as you know, that's not the purpose of the sideways head
isolation. Not the aim. The aim is, boom, boom. Practice hitting the side. Because if you move a hand away, then you're actually
doing the move. Same for the other side,
boom, boom, boom, boom. If you can do this without
turning your head, move a hand away and keep
doing the same move. Then you can have your hands on either side of your cheeks, go one side, other side, one side, other side, one
side, other side, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, move
your hands away. And then you have the isolation. Now, of course,
I'm not suggesting to you that you're going
to get this like that. I've been doing this
for many years, but that's a good
way I would implore you to practice the head
sideways isolation. Otherwise, you may start
twisting your head, I see things like
that all the time. Also think of this whole side of the face going to the side. Don't just think aimlessly, actually have a focal point, which is the side of a face
going out, boom boom, boom. Sometimes I say think of
your jaw line as well, specifically going out,
particularly at the back there. Boom boom because if
you're thinking of that, you're not like it to twist, but you're pushing forward with that part of your
jaw, boom boom. You can think of
that specific part, whole side of the face, but don't think aimlessly at the beginning before you
can do it without thinking.
30. HEAD DROP ISOLATION: Everybody has seen this
move before, right? If you haven't, now you have. So I say right now, everybody has seen
that move before. So how do you do it? I'm going to do a
chicken head possible. Extending my chicken head boom. Almost detend my chicken. 02, two. Okay? So my head goes
out, giggle giggly, boom, boom, boom,
okay? Isolated. Nothing else moving, my head. Stick your head out
as far as you can. Now, you can do the same
thing, but you can be boom, totally full like this. Okay? But but, but, but, but. Next. Well, my shoulders because I've put my head low like this. My shoulders are slightly higher now relative to the head. Now I'm going to
simply shrug down. So head and shrug down. I kind of roll my shoulders
slightly forward, tell them shrug
down, boom, boom. Head, shrug, but shrug down. It's not shrug up, struck
down or roll forward. However you want to cool this. But this movement, I'm
cooling shrug down, five, six, so seven,
eight, head, shrug. You do the same
thing. Head, shrug. Five, slowly, seven, eight, head, shrug, head, shrug. Now, obviously, I'm going
through this quite quickly, and you're probably thinking,
Oh, but that's difficult. Yeah, it is. It's advanced. That's why I put this in a more advanced section later
on in the course. It's not simple. It's
not easy, sorry. It's simple in so far
as the steps to do, but it's not easy to
get it in your body. But do you try and isolate
this as much as you can first. Get that chicken head. Boom.
It's going to help you. You don't do this and
leave the shoulders, it's going to mess you up. Boom, try and just
isolate that head. B, B, B, shrug, bah, shrug. Now, if I'm here, you're
going to reverse. This gets a bit more tricky. I'm actually going to go
shoulders, head, shoulders, head, I can, boom, boom, boom, boom,
get up the hair. What I'm actually going to
do to make sure it's clean. Now I'm actually going
to raise my shoulders. I'm going to shrug
back. It's almost like up and back up and back. So hair, dangling here, no secret, I'm just dangling. I'm going to raise my shoulders
up and back slightly, then bring the head and shoulders going up and back
slightly, then the head. But to make it clean,
I'm actually going to extend my head forward
when I do the shoulder shrug. Let's go back to this position. At the same time I do
my shoulder shrug, I'm going to extend
my head forward. To make sure it doesn't come to shrub like this. Can
you imagine that? It's not the same move.
So I'm down here. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Then I do the head. Again, I'm going to push my head forward as I did
the shoulder shrug. Boom. You can't really tell that I'm actually
extending my head. This is inside the sec here. How This is how to get it really clean when you're
going back upwards. So, sorry. Boom, boom,
boom. Shaking aside. Slowly, together,
seven, eight, one, two, three, four, go back up, five, or, one, two,
three, four. Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five,
se, seven, eight. Then, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. This is how you do the
head. Drop isolation. Tap, tap, turn, tap. Be Lois one and it
does ticlo practice. So practice, why
Subruscian teeth? At Any point that you can do practice this. See
you next video.
31. 360 ISOLATION: How to do this move now? This weird looking move? Do I look weird? I know
it looks a bit weird. I like that for some reason. So right now, you should
be fairly comfortable with this isolation
and this isolation, because you're going to need
them, those two elements. You're going to need the sideways and the
forward them back. Okay. So how we do it is we
move in opposites, okay? We move our head to the left, we move our body, our
chest to the right. We move our head forward, we
bring our chest backwards, et cetera, et cetera. Like so. I'm going to now, I would recommend as well,
when you're learning, just have your hand
on your chest, hands on your chest
like so to, like, guide your chest so you can really feel
what you're doing. So right now, I'm going to move my head to my left
side, this side. Then I'm going at the same time move my chest to my right side, literally moving my chest, isolating to the
right side, okay? Not thinking, of course, move my whole body, just
thinking chest. It's going to isolate
at the top here. Okay? I'm not trying
to bring my stomach with me, thinking chest. Again, at the same time,
I'm going to move my head to the left with that
sideways head isolation. Five, six, seven, eight, boom. Five, six, seven, eight, boom, one more, five,
six, seven, eight. Boom. Notice how small it looks, doesn't look big.
It's not supposed to. Because when you do auto givar,
it's going to look good. So don't worry about that.
Now I'm going to move my chest to my left and
my head to my right. Five, six, seven, eight, book laughing at how I said,
Don't worry about that. Five, six, seven, eight, book one more time, five, six, seven, eight, boom. I got you. So let's now
go to the first one. We're going to move
our head to the left, our chest to the right, five, six, seven, eight, boom. So you should feel
really isolated here. You should literally
feel like you've moved your head to the left
and your chest to the right. If you don't feel
that disconnection, then you haven't done it right. Okay? I feel like I'm
in two dimensions. Okay? My head is
in one dimension, my chest is in
another dimension. Now, from here, one
want to do Boom is extend my head forwards and bring my body,
my chest backwards. Boom. I was here. Now, I extend my
head forward and I'm going to just press and
bring my chest backwards. Five, six, seven,
eight, boom, boom. Now if I'm here, I'm
going to bring my head to the right and my
chest to the left, five, six, seven, eight, boom. Now we're in the
opposite position of how we started the move. If I did that all slowly,
it would look like this. 78, boom, boom, boom. Then when I bring my chest forwards, my head is
going to go back. Boom. Okay? This
might feel weird, and it's going to feel weird when you're
breaking it down. Then from here, my
head to the left, my chest to the right,
we're back to square one. So all of that looks like this. Boom. Boom. Boom, boom. Okay? This, you know, especially if you're not that advanced with hip
hop and isolation, it's going to take a
while. Be patient. Be patient, okay? But that is how you isolate and have this illusion that your head is
in the same place. Boom. I've moved my hands, as you can see it looks like my head is in the same place. Boom, boom, boom. I don't
have to see myself. I know it does. Okay? And then you just do
the same thing from this position to have this look, boom you can have your hands on your chest to
make it add another effect. Boom. So it's like your head is still
when your body's going around your head then around. I'll show you from the back. My head is going to
go this way first, my chest going to go that way. Jom. Round, round. Round, round. Round,
round, round. So to repeat what I said before, head goes to the left,
chest goes to the right. Boom, break it down again. Chest back, head forward, boom. Just to the right. So head to the right,
chest to the left, boom, and now chest
forward and head back. Boom. And then you go
around and around. I comfortable, you can
move remove your hands. This looks so weird
in the shadow. Like some monster. Yeah, that's how you do this. When you get
comfortable, you can do things like this to the side. Boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom. That's just the side isolation. That's showed in
the other video. We can go from here
to the circle. I'm letting my hands dangle
on purpose to look red. Practice this is
not easy though.

39. WOW CONGRATULATIONS!: Congratulations. You've done it. You've competed
this course, or I should say this
version of the course. This course is part of a
larger course on my website, learn hip hop dancemoves.com. I'm going to teach you
even more vocabulary. There's over 130
videos in total, featuring some of the
videos that you've done in this course, also way more. You can see the whole
list on the page. So if you want to further
develop and refine your moves, then I would suggest you
get the full course. Other than that, I hope
this course has helped you at least feel more
free in your body. But freedom is such
a big thing to me, especially when it
comes to oneself. So feeling free in
your body socially and dancing and just being yourself on a
day to day basis, that is, I think, worth
its weight in gold. So if I've at least helped
you get to that part where you feel more comfortable in your body and you
don't feel awkward, then I'll say my work is done. But if you do want to
learn more and be cooler, even cooler than you are now, then I would suggest you
go to the full course. Other than that, thank you for being here for trusting me. Have a wonderful day or
evening, my fellow dancers.
