Hello beautiful humans.
Today I'm teaching you a cotemporary dance to,
some song that will be in the description,
it's actually really beautiful.
And so grab some space.
Grab some confidence, confidence.
And we're going to dance.
Brayden, let's do this.
But first, our Patron of the week is Joshua J.D.
Very mysterious last name, and or middle name.
Joshua thank you so much for your love and your support,
and you are a fellow dance teacher, right Bray?
- [Brayden] Yeah.
- Yes, that's amazing, I'm sending all my love.
Thank you for supporting us, thank you for loving on us,
and we're so happy to have you a part of the family.
I'm going to be facing the back of the room,
because you all requested it.
So you 're gonna start facing the back
in a nice parallel position.
You're gonna step on your left foot, plié you're knee,
and reach that right arm overhead.
My right foot is in the tendu.
Six, seven, and da, da, da, da.
From here I'm gonna step right, step left,
I'm gonna do a little coupé turn,
it's kind of like a 3/4 turn into a jazz split.
So a coupé is connected to your ankle.
You're gonna do a coupé turn and then you're going
to slide down into a jazz, kind of a jazz split.
Right leg is straight, right foot is pointed,
you're on your left heel.
You're gonna push over, bring your left knee to your right
knee, sit up, and now you're sitting on your heels.
So let's rewind and do that forward, one more time.
Forgive my hops, my feet are a little bit sticky.
When I wear socks I'm too slippery so you just can't win.
Here we go, six, seven, and step left, reach right.
Step right, coupé turn, slide down, right palm.
Push, left knee to right knee, up and over,
sit on your heels.
- [Brayden] Auti what are you doing?
- I'm playing with my pretty skirt Bray.
I almost forgot the word for a skirt.
This is from Dancewear Corner's, isn't it cute?
- [Brayden] Yeah.
- I just feel like a little, like a little lady.
But then I can go like this and not be a lady.
Whatever.
Okay dancers so now you're sitting on your heels.
And you're gonna reach your arm is downstage,
so closest to the front of the room.
It's your right arm up and overhead,
that palm hits the floor.
I'm gonna put my left hand down now, sit on my booty
and allow my legs to straighten out into a pique.
My feet are pointed, I'm sitting up nice and tall.
I'm then going to lean with my head, let my belly button
hit the floor, right knee comes in straight,
and I'm gonna stand up facing the back
on my right foot, and stretch.
Let's do that again.
So you roll to the floor..
You did your jazz split, you brought your knees together
and you're sitting on your heel.
Downstage arm up and over, palm down, leg down.
Piqué, roll to the back right knee in,
tuck, stand up, right foot.
(upbeat music)
Here we go.
Nope.
All right, this is for real now.
Five, six, seven, and.
Good job guys.
Okay peeps, now you are standing up on your right foot,
so I'm facing the back of the room, which happens to be you.
I'm gonna step on my left foot.
My right foot is gonna slide through, first position,
and I'm gonna come up I'll show you guys, to a flexed rise.
So my arms go up and my right leg is bent.
My left foot is up on a relevé.
But this will now be facing the front of the room.
So we're here, six, seven, eight, step left up, right, left.
So I'm now facing the front of the room
towards the diagonal.
From there I'm gonna breathe up,
my hands are gonna go to my knees, okay.
That was up, knees.
From there my right leg is going to ronde de jambe around.
My leg is going to the right.
My arms are going to go to the left.
So it's opposing directions.
We go up, knees, ronde de jambe.
Face the back of the room in a piroutté prep, kind of.
You're only only going to do half a turn.
So I have my right knee bent, right foot turned out,
left leg straight.
I'm gonna come up to a passé and tuck that left knee.
Passé, from there I tuck my left knee down
and I roll on my booty to sit on my heels one last time.
So, rewind to the corner.
Six, seven, and breathe up to your knees, ronde de jambe,
prep passé, tuck, roll to you knees.
From there you come up, just to your right knee.
Left leg shoots out, you're gonna extend over, and close,
roll, and lay, and close.
Bring it back, bring it back.
Six, seven, and breathe up, knees, ronde de jambe,
prep, passé, tuck, roll, sit, heels come up.
Lean together, roll to your mermaid, lay, finitio.
(upbeat music)
