(calm music)
- Are you rolling?
- [Brayden] Mhmm.
- Oh my god (laughs).
I was staring at this hair.
I don't know what's happening.
He's gone rouge, people.
You guys, check these out.
Honestly, these are actually really cool.
They're from Dance Wear Corner,
surprise, surprise, my favorites.
They're called Bloch Socks and they're from
the very famous brand, Bloch.
They have little grippy-dos.
Little grippy guys down there and they help you turn.
So they're super form fitting to your foot,
which is awesome cause it keeps the shape
and it keeps the line of your foot,
but instead of your run of the mill socks
from, like, Target.
I do love Target.
Sorry, no hate Target.
They help you be a little bit more grounded
so that you're not slipping everywhere.
So we're going to dance in these today, our Bloch Socks.
I'm gonna be teaching you a brand new lyrical routine.
Woo!
Crowds have been asking for it.
So get some space, get some socks, order these
and then do the dance.
But seriously, order them.
We're gonna get some dances going on right now.
Okay, friends.
Go ahead and start sitting on your cute little toes.
Sitting up nice and tall, your hands are on your legs.
You brush your arms up to a nice fifth en avant,
that's your circle in front of your body.
You extend left arm high, right arm out.
You come back to your circle, you're gonna extend
the other side, but this time your leg shoots out as well.
Up and out.
From here, you tuck your left knee in,
you sit back down, right when you sit down,
your right hand touches your right knee
and you shoot that leg up behind you.
I'm now holding on to my right knee.
My right leg is straight, I bend in,
sit on my left butt cheek,
roll to stand up, a nice pointed toe.
Standing up and hold.
Let's try that again.
So, we're sitting.
We're sitting pretty.
Seven and, bah dum, whoom.
Bah dum, shoom.
And in, right leg,
and bend, roll, point to stand.
From here, you're doing a nice drag.
So your drag foot stays on the floor, hence the name drag.
It drags along the floor.
Your left arm is gonna shoot up so soft and pretty,
and you're stepping onto your right foot.
So I just stood up, I'm going drag,
and stepping left foot across,
turning over my right shoulder,
to a nice tendu.
This is gonna prepare your for a chainnes pique
moving that way.
We go chainnes, pique.
Oh, I can hear my Bloch Socks squeaking.
They're keeping me nice and controlled.
After my pique, I'm gonna teach you a new turn
called a step up.
Also, sometimes called a lame duck.
Not to be confused with a dorky duck, okay.
We're here, your lame duck has two steps.
One, front knee is bent, back leg is straight,
arms are in third.
This extended leg, you step onto it,
and you turn up, okay?
So I went shoop, bah, bah, through.
That is your lame duck.
You can do a half turn, a single, a double, whatever.
When you do land, however, it's gonna be parallel in a plie.
And you go woo, all the way down.
So if you're falling out of your turns,
that's okay, cause it's choreographed in the dance.
Okay, here we go.
And five, six, seven, and
(lyrical music) first, extend.
First, extend.
Plie, knee up, and bend, roll to stand.
Drag, step tendu, chainnes, pique.
Lame duck, up, plie, and melt.
Good.
Okay, as you can tell that step up turn is kind of tricky.
There's been a lot of takes
where I've been falling out of it.
I've told you guys, I'll be totally honest,
I'm not a huge turner, but my tip for that turn
is to be able to find your center to pull up
and plie with a nice cushion.
It'll give you more grounding than if you were to land
with a straight leg, okay?
So you turn out of that, you plie land,
and you drop your arms
and then you swing up to the sides next to you.
From here, my left leg shoots out
as my right arm frames my face.
You jump to switch.
Jump, switch.
So one more time.
I did the turn, plie, arms release, reach up.
Tendu left, frame right, arms switch.
From here, I'm ready to lift my right leg,
it does an inside fan.
So it goes from the diagonal,
fans across to the other diagonal.
Left arm goes high.
Seven and, fan, step.
From here, I do a-
See you next week.
We do a beautiful chasse to the right.
Chasse, step, and tendu over.
So I have my weight in my right foot.
My left arm is going shoom, up and over.
So let's bring it back.
Okay, friends, so we did our little turn sequence across,
so our chainnes, pique, our step up.
You land in a gorgeous plie parallel,
you go down, shoot up, tendu left, switch right.
Fan over, chasse, step, tendu.
From here, actually, let's do that with music.
(lyrical music) Let's dance, babeh.
For a second I was like, oh wait (laughs)
that's not the beginning.
Okay, here we go.
We're sitting down, sit up nice and tall.
Seven and up, extend, up, extend,
plie, leg up, bend, roll to stand.
Drag, step tendu, chainnes, pique,
step up, plie release up.
Frame, frame, fan, chasse, tendu.
Ah!
You guys, do some sit-ups before this.
Your girl is like a little wiggle wobble.
What are those things that used to, like,
they wobble but they never fall over.
♪ Hey, hey look at me and weeble ♪
♪ Weebles wobble but they don't fall down ♪
I feel like one today, okay?
So, sue me.
Don't actually sue me.
Okay, Brayden's like, we're done.
Okay you guys.
The very last part of the dance goes from your tendu
facing back, so we have our beautiful tendu.
From here, my right leg's already turned out,
and all I have to do is turn out my left foot
and push into a grande plie.
I don't sit in that grande plie for a long time,
I'm gonna shoot up and go to a jazz split.
Bah dum, bum.
So, my left leg is pointed, my left foot is pointed,
my left knee is straight, my right leg is here,
I bring my right leg to my left,
roll onto my stomach, bring it up here,
delay my back coming up.
Flex in right, release.
Left, release.
Both come in, release.
Hand and lay.
Ahh!
What do you think, Bray?
- [Brayden] That part looks easy.
- (laughs) Okay, bring it back up you guys.
We go from our tendu, we plie, jazz split,
roll, knees together, onto your tummy,
back is delayed, sit up.
Flex right, point right, flex left, point left.
Flex both, and out, right arm goes down,
release and bend.
We did it!
Should we do the whole thing?
- [Brayden] Yeah.
- Cool.
(lyrical music)
We're gonna go all the way through this time, you guys.
Don't forget to take a deep breath before you dance,
I always tell my students that.
Ground yourself, settle into the space.
And-
Woo!
Good job, guys.
You're my best friends.
(kissing noise)
Is that sad?
I don't know.
I put Purell on my hands.
So I'm doing the Purell dry it up dance.
Thank you for dancing with me, you guys.
Make sure you warm up before that.
Do your stretches, do your conditioning.
Get your tummy tight.
I love making these little choreography routines
for you guys.
They're just little phrases for you to learn at home
and I love seeing you guys do them.
It's really cute when you tag me in them
and I see you in your little cute living room
or your bedroom.
Be careful dancing in small spaces.
But I hope you enjoyed this.
