hi guys in today's video I'm going to be breaking down five best moves from the
music video Taki Taki. If you like this video please hit the like button
and subscribe because i'll be posting part two very very soon. Please note that
i won't be teaching choreography there's plenty of other videos you can watch on
that, i want to teach you freestyle moves so moves from the video that you can
learn and then include in your freestyle and at the end of this video i'm going
to show you how you can mix the moves together and include them in your
freestyle so keep on watching. Most of the dance moves in the video are
very simple but there are some more difficult ones i'll try to find the
easiest way to break them down but if you have any questions please leave them
in the comments below and I might do separate videos on those moves later on.
the first movement this is the one that Cardi does and it's a chest roll so
we're starting off with not so easy movement we're going to and bring the
chest out and then over to the side so maybe let me show you first how it looks
we're looking for this okay so we'll just do one she only does it one time
and we're going to bring the chest out diagonally to the right we're going to
be rotating to the left okay so we're going out to the right keep it out
rotate to the other side and then relax you don't want to do it in a full range
of motion it's not about the size of the movement, we're going to keep it small
but if your torso feels a little bit stiff feel free to watch the video I did
on how to loosen up the torso because I'm teaching the isolations there and
this is the motion we need... Let's try it again: we're going to bring the chest out
diagonally to the right keep it out a little bit, suck the belly in shoulders
go back rotate chest just about half way and then relax we'll try that again
chest goes out keep it out drop I'm going from one corner from the right
corner to the left so don't try to do it you know from side to side it would be
way too big your shoulders will pull back a little bit when you're sticking
the chest out suck the belly end this will make the
motion of the chest a little bit bigger so you won't have to work as hard okay
so again out and over out and over nothing else is happening you're not
moving the feet the knees can be slightly bent you can have the feet
together even if you want but I think it's more it's more comfortable to have
them open because then you can balance better. For this next movement, movement
number two a little bit more difficult more going on in this one, it's actually
going to be two different parts part one is what we already know
chest roll so the left part two and we're going to do two different things
at the same time so it requires a little bit of coordination
first we're going to add or learn the hip motion so you're going to have the
knees bent and we're going to do like a quarter circle to the right so you're
going to bring the pelvis back and then over towards the front don't do it with
straight legs you're going to be stuck the pelvis won't move the hips won't
move and bend the knees a little bit bring the booty back and over to the side
now we're going to do a head roll with it so bear with me we're going to start
with the chest so we have our half circle and then
we're going to roll head to the left so everything with the upper body is
going to go to the left side chest goes to the left hand roll to the left and
then watch this when we're about to finish the head roll we're going to
start to roll the hips it will look something like this head roll hip right
away and so once I'm picking my head up this is when I'm rolling
I'll count those two movements we're going to go one two of the chest and
three four with the hips so let's put the head roll on three we'll start on
three three four is your hip we're moving in two opposite direction
meaning head rolls to the left hip rolls to the right okay
let's try again with the count very very slow and we have from the head one two
three four again five six seven head roll one two
three four another thing to keep in mind don't give me this this is not a head
roll your not suppose some of the entire body it's literally the smallest head roll
you can find well... head, hip. let's put it all together five six seven slow one two
then three four five six let's try that again five six seven eight one two three
four five six mm-hm let's see if we can do it a little
bit faster and more connected so we have five six seven we have chest and roll
again we have one two three four another thing that's important in this movement
combination is that you're not separating the movement so much so I
don't want you to look like this unless that's what you're going for we're going
to try to smooth everything out so it looks like one motion flows into the
other motion five six seven and boom boom boom okay like I said way more
difficult. okay but let's move on to the next one before this next movement
we're going to use the motion of the hips called ticking, you're going to bend
the knees and then bring right hip up drop it left hip up drop up up so this
will be pretty sharp pretty quick, feel free to use the heel up motion at the
same time so the moment that heel goes up the hip will go up as well but it's
not necessary you can keep the feet flat and just go from the hips
try to make it as sharp as possible but don't tense anything because then it
will be like this knees will be bent arms are up slightly bent and that's
when you're moving your hips to make this movement look better instead of
looking straight ahead feel free to look down at the hips as you're moving them
so five six seven eight and one this is a quick movement just two quick beats
and one for this next movement we're going to need a little bit of a body
roll if you're familiar with the body roll with this motion it would be very
helpful if not I'll teach you a simplified version of this movement so
we can all do it okay so you're going to bring the chest out
forward and then sink the body backwards chest goes forward and back let's try
that again forward and back so what do you want to do when you're pushing the
chest forward keep the shoulders back so you can push it in the opposite
direction and this will expand your chest more and also suck the belly in
okay so again we have chest forward sink back down forward down if you know the
body roll you can body roll it so it can be more smooth especially when you're
going backwards but if not just sink back in like this just bring the torso
back at the same time we're going to add the arms the arms will open bring them
forward open bring them forward depending on the look of this movement
that you're going for you can really go crazy with it. in the video
of course it's exaggerated so you can get really low with the chest you can
dip your head even you can go right but in the club I don't know if you want to
be doing all that so a little bit smaller version would be to just do the
chest sink back chest sink back. For this next movement we're going to use the motion
we did before remember the hip the quarter circle and
we're going to start with the hip going back and over to the front you're
rotating it to the right but at the same time you're going to step with it
keep the knees bend the entire time and then the first step is when you do the first
roll second when you do the second we have step and roll step and roll both
times I'm starting with the pelvis to the back okay the moment of the foot is
touching the floor in the front I stick the booty back and let it roll
back and roll again don't do straight legs you're not going to go really far
plus you will look like I just did so not not so great five six seven eight
one two three four really arch your back really exaggerate the motion it will
look nicer. once you have the motion we're going to add the arm movement so
your right arm will go across the body across the belly two times okay so it
will look like this all together very slow you're gonna go one two three four
mm-hmm so think about the elbow going to the
right two times five six seven slow one two three four
just for your freestyle and then as a different option you don't have to turn
with the movement you can just do it in place but I would still use the step and
to start off your hip roll so I would go one two three four you can even do it
without the arm going across just
