- Hi babies.
Today, we're doing a very dramatic,
kinda dark little contemporary lyrical routine.
It's a little bit shorter,
but there's more intricacies in it,
and guess who's back.
Here she is in all her glory, Miss Sydni.
You ready?
- Yes.
- Yes, let's dance.
All right, love you.
You're gonna start with your feet
about like hip with the part.
Not too, too wide.
Your palms go out, out.
They're kind of connected at your wrists.
Elbows break into your body,
and then it stretches up, and you close your fist.
Melt down.
Let's try that again.
Ready?
Five, six, seven, eight.
This is palm, palm, elbow, up, close.
Beautiful.
From that little meltdown, you're gonna cross one leg
over the other with a nice plie,
turning over your back shoulder,
you're gonna reach that arm out in front of you,
but if you notice, Sydni has a really high releve there.
You wanna really push over that foot.
From there, you push into an attitude,
and then a plie fan.
Let's show that one more time.
People are like, wait, what?
From that little bent position that she turned around,
it's hard to do slow because of the balance,
but she's gonna reach out, bend the back knee, plie,
keep the same leg up in a fan.
Yes, let's go from the top.
That's beautiful.
Ready?
Five, six, seven, eight.
This is palm, palm, elbow, press, bend.
Good, and cross through, reach out.
She goes, attitude, plie fan.
Gorgeous, okay.
From the back, you should now be facing the back
of whatever room you're dancing in.
You're turning over that front shoulder
to press you out into this lunge.
It's kind of a side lunge if you will.
You're not square to the front.
You have a little bit of a square hip to the side,
and then those hands, you can show them,
that are kinda just floating.
Yes, but I love how she has a heaviness to them.
There.
You're doing a catch step,
so that back leg meets up with your front
to get you to the other side.
You wanna show that again from the first lunge?
She goes, lunge through, and bottom,
and then you notice her arms are kind of just floating up
and over to the other side.
It should feel somewhat natural.
Okay?
All right, so we went, lunge, and lunge.
From here, we pick up into a tendu.
You swivel to, "Ooh there, my ballet friends,"
meaning you have an open line between your legs.
Your hands are behind your head this way,
and you're up on high feet,
up on a high demi pointe.
From there, you're gonna step onto your front tendu leg.
Reach your arms, high plie, melt over.
Yes, and if you notice Sydni really articulated
through her spine to lift up.
Your head should be the very last thing.
Let's go from the top.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Love enthusiasm.
Okay, here we go.
Six, seven, palms go out, out, bend in,
reach up, and close.
Good, cross over, turn around, attitude into your fan.
Step, lunge, up and over, tendu, drop through,
articulate up.
Gorgeous.
We're gonna keep treading along.
You just melted.
You rolled up through your spine.
Your arms continue, and then they come in front of you.
It's kind of like you're holding something,
so I want there to be tension in those arms,
but still softness.
They're like, "You want so many things."
Tension, but still grace.
Okay, we're here.
Now, you're gonna shift your head over to the left,
and then right.
It's kind of like, I would say
like a little creepy crawly on you a little bit.
You're just kinda like, ugh.
Getting it off.
- Mhmm.
- Budum, bum, bum, and then from there,
your hands go, (gasps).
That's kind of drama right there.
You're going from this soft feel to shoo, up,
like a little magnet to your chest.
Okay?
Let's rewind to the tendu.
She goes, catch that tendu up.
Drop over, articulate through your spine.
Hands left, right, chest.
Good.
Okay, there's one last little baby part.
Miss Sydni's gonna step on her right foot forward for us.
She's gonna turn over her back shoulder
to tuck to the floor.
Yes.
Then she tucks that other leg under.
Her hands come to her thighs,
and she drops forward and melts.
Drama!
We love that.
Okay, let's go with the music.
Good job.
Okay, actually before we do it with music,
we're gonna go with counts.
Here we go.
Also, counts, as in I'm gonna be tensing it.
(both laughing)
Here we go.
Six, seven.
(Auti scat singing)
Push, and step, piano, piano.
Tendu, shoo!
Push me down.
Good, and left, right, heart, step over,
tuck, drama, drama, drama.
Yes, now we're ready for music.

Wait, that was so crazy.
(Sydni laughing)
Guys, I loved having an assistant.
Make sure to follow Miss beautiful Sydni
on Instagram.
We'll pop up her little candle right here again too.
Is there anything else that you wanna share?
- No.
- Okay.
(Sydni laughing)
We'll just do the IG.
You guys, let us know how the little phrase
of choreography goes.
I like this one a lot.
It has that drama that had darkness to it and the heaviness.
Tag me on Instagram as you always do.
I love seeing you do these little dances.
The song is in the video description,
so click it, dance, and we'll see you later.
(both laughing)
(upbeat music)
