hi guys welcome to another tutorial today I'll be teaching you three simple
hip-hop moves, if you liked this video please don't forget to give it a thumbs
up and subscribe to my channel there will be more videos just like this one
at the end of this video I'll show you how you can put together those three
movements into a mini routine so you know how to transition between the. let
me show you the moves with the music first and then I'm going to break them
down. the first movement today the first move we're going to start with the
shoulders. all you're going to do is we're going to move them up and down
we'll of course add a specific rhythm to it but this is the basic motion we're
going to be working with so right away pick right left shoulder
up just a little bit it won't be a big movement and we're going to do triple
shoulders. what it means is we'll move the shoulder up three times between two
snares... again if the rhythm is something that you find difficult I will post the
link to the video I did a while ago on rhythm so that would be I think very
helpful but we're going to move the shoulders three times between two snares
so our count will be one and two one and two every single time you start with a
different shoulder so first with the right one and two, leave it up and then
left right left if you feel like it or if you want to make the movement look
even more natural as opposed to doing just the shoulders alone as far as the
upper body give me a little bit of a twist one and two three and four
especially when you're doing last shoulder seven and eight
see not necessary only if you find the shoulders to be super easy keep the arms
slightly bent so avoid doing this with straight arms because the arm when it's
straight it weights more so then it's harder for the shoulder to lift it and
it will also make you look super stiff so we don't need that. time for the knee
bent you know we have to groove of this movement we can just have straight legs
and just stand there so what's going to happen on the last
shoulder switch on even number we're going to bend the knees just one drop
just boom okay let's see how this would look together slow we're going to go
right left drop left right drop right left drop left right drop see only every
snare, only every snare you're dropping the knees you bending the knees so the
body changes level and that creates that groove and bounce in our body let's try
a little bit faster five six seven here we go one and two three and four five
and six seven again one and two three and four five and six seven and eight
very good moving on to the next one for our next move we'll stick with the
shoulders but this one is I'm not going to lie a little bit more difficult let's
first just focus on shoulder rolls because we'll be doing a lot of these
let's bring left shoulder up into the back back back back then right shoulder
same thing up over to the back good let's switch direction do it forward a
few times
mmm-hmm and then left shoulder forward
good again we're now looking for a huge movement it does help if your shoulders
are not feeling very stiff so if you want to know how to loosen it up how to
work on them I also did a video on the shoulders so I'm going to link it down
below for you and let me show you what the movement will be so we'll start with
the left shoulder you can just mirror me left shoulder will go up to the back and
then when it's dropping back your other shoulder will be going up and forward
okay so it's left back right forward and then you're bringing the right shoulder
up bring it back and left shoulder up forward so you're switching every single
time again left back right forward right back left forward for now it can be a
little bit disconnected that's fine it will feel very weird it's not a basic
movement not the shoulders so it might take a little bit to get used to back
forward back forward nice in the actual wave the shoulder wave we want to be
able to connect it a little bit more okay so we're going to go from one side
to the other boom boom boom boom okay this will be the motion after you have
the shoulders and again feel free to practice the shoulders as long as you
need to to have them be a smooth movement and no rush but once you have
it we're going to add a little shift, the shift will just happen will just happen
on the heels we're going to pick the toes up pivot a little bit drop them and
then go the other way boom and boom so you just side to side don't leave the
toes high it's not necessary then after the end when you pivot on the snare drum
we again will drop the knee so it will be bump drop shift drop bump drop shift
drop let me put it all together you see how much is going on in this one left
shoulder we'll start back you're gonna go back forward right back forward left
back right forward right back left forward very little shift on the heels
if it's too much don't even do it focus on the shoulders and maybe an event
that's going to be enough 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 again 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 this next
movement will be more like a transition move and we're
going to start with the arms and then knee bend so the first action you're going to
bring the hands forward at the same time bend the knees and you can lean back a
little bit so you're going like get away from me okay this type of feeling after
that after that little push you're going to take your left foot step back and
then the right foot steps back as well so you're going to be moving backwards a
little bit let's try slowly again arms left right
at by this time by the time you put the right foot down arms will just drop you
can also start this movement a little bit at an angle because it will look
weird if you go straight back so we're facing the corner a little bit bend the
knees left right it's almost like like a jump feeling but I don't want you to go
like that right different different look yeah we're not for it, more more grounded
and more like you're create this illusion that you hit something and then
you have to step back to kind of catch your balance if that makes sense let me
show you of the count five six seven eight one and two five six seven eight
one and two okay like I said more of a transition movement because you don't
want to be doing this more than once in a row it might look a little weird so
one time was good for us and what else I was going to tell you after you push
when you bend the knees here don't step back with straight lines a lot of times
if you do a new movement and it kind of looks stiff once you like watching
yourself in the mirror that's because the you're locking the legs so you want
to keep a slight knee bent that's first of all right second of all you want to
land on the balls of the feet as opposed to flat feet so after the push not flat
foot but keep the weight more towards the front of the feet and that will make
you look a little bit lighter on your feet let's try again
five six seven eight one and two five six seven eight one and two okay guys I
will show you how you can go from one move to the next to the next in a little
mini routine so you can follow along so we're going to start with the first
movement we'll just keep them in the same order
triple shoulders right so we have 1 & 2 3 & 4 5 & 6 7 & 8
then our difficult move the shoulder wave with a little heel shift starting
with the left shoulder you're going to go 1 2 3 4 5 6 only 3 times and then
we're going to hit step step just one time let's try it again
5 6 7 slow 1 & 2 3 & 4 5 & 6 7 & 8 shift 1 2 3 4 5 6 head step step we have 5 6 5
6 7 8 1 & 2 2 four five and six seven and eight one
two three four five six seven and eight
