- Hey, dancers.
I just got done teaching an awesome masterclass
and I'm burning up. (laughs)
So I want to share with you
this Coolean Honeycomb cordless desk fan,
or in my case, studio fan that I got.
Look at how cute she is. (sighs)
It moves and kind of swivels
like where you'd want it to face.
And it has four different settings. Watch this.
One
two, (laughs)
she's blowing in the wind.
Three,
and four.
(sighs) That's incredible.
First of all, it's so stinking cute.
Comes in this adorable kind of like minty color,
and wait for my favorite one. (chuckles)
This Baby Dusty Pink.
It also comes in white,
so if you're more of a neutral friend,
that fan would be fabulous for you.
It's cordless, it's powerful, it's sleek,
and it's so, so cute.
And it comes with this perfect little wire.
It just plugs into your wall charger,
like when you're charging a phone,
you can charge this baby up
and then kinda take this on the road.
It's perfect for rehearsals, for after performance,
when your makeup's a little sweaty
and you don't want to put too much on.
Just kind of cool off with this little cordless desk fan,
and you'll be good to go.
Hey everyone, let's learn "Way Back When".

- All right my loves.
So I am facing what would be the front of the room.
Start with your feet about hip width apart.
You're going to do some just kind of natural bounces.
You want to imagine that you're feeling
kind of ancy, kind of anxious,
and your heels are just moving.
There's not really a specific way to execute the movement.
Just do kind of what feels good for you.
The arms can kind of float around
and then you have eight lifts.
Bum, Bum. Bum three, and four.
Arms are just kind of moving.
Again, you're just anxious. Palms can open and close.
The very last one is going to step out.
So just the feet are going out, cross.
So I step out with the right foot
and then I cross in front with the left foot.
The arms are going down, out, and over,
down, out and over.
From here, you'll notice I'm in a plie in a bend.
I do a chaines turn up on my tip toes.
Step to the right of the room.
Plie in parallel, arms go out, out.
So that order was right arm, left arm.
So we do our little bounces.
We do eight of our lifts, three, four, and five,
six, seven, eight.
That one goes across, step,
chaine turn, reach parallel, parallel.
From this bend your elbows, come in very sharp.
Cut and stand.
The arms are going to throw behind you as you step backward.
Step, step.
Look to the front of the room,
arm reaches out and then closes into a fist.
So if I were to face you, it looks like this.
Reach out, close to a fist.
Then the hands come to the head.
Kind of like, you're like, "Oh no" you made a mistake, okay?
So you have arm, close to a fist, hands to your head.
You're just going to do some shakes. Left, right, left.
The arms are going to drop down
as you step forward on your left foot.
Now I am going to do a fan, facing the back of the room.
So when you do this fan
you should be facing back of your space.
So I brush my right leg
into a fan.
The opposite arm does a circle.
You could even drop your arms down.
It's up to you if you want to do an arm on the fan.
The bottom knee which in this case
is my left knee is bent, fan.
Step on the right foot.
Now, in order to turn myself back
to face the front of the room, I'm doing a step chug.
Step, turn over my right shoulder, chug.
That movement again was step, right shoulder, chug.
So if you just keep thinking,
"Turn over my right shoulder to face the front of the room."
it'll get you around, okay?
So we went, reach, reach,
elbow up,
back, back, reach the arm,
close the fist, hands to your head.
Go left and right and left.
Step on your left foot forward,
and you're going to fan the right leg around,
step,
and a little chug over.
Good, now when you come up, your arm's doing a wave.
So I go right arm wave into the left arm.
It's a little bit less like this, like a noodle,
as opposed to a longer reach and a thread through.
You want to think you have like a scarf on,
and it's sliding off to the left side.
So reach, bum, bum, bum.
From here I close the palms into each other
as I throw to the left side.
You throw twice and each time you do a lunge.
This is a low lunge.
And then an even lower lunge down.
From here both hands go to the floor
as I tuck the right knee down
and I drop on top of it.
My left leg is extended out, both feet are pointed.
From here my right arm releases forward,
as my knees come together
into a mermaid kind of fetal position.
I roll on my back to look at the ceiling
and then I end on the other side in a fetal.
Okay, let's go from the very top
all the way through to the end.
So we're facing the front of the room,
feet are about hip width apart.
We just do little heel bounces.
Arms are natural for you.
From here, we shift into one, two, three, four,
five, six,
and seven, eight.
This goes step, cross,
chaines,
parallel reach, reach, elbows in.
Stand up, step back,
left arm forward, fist, hands to your head,
shake left, right, left.
Step left, fan to the back.
Step, jump over your right shoulder.
Wave, bum, bum. Palms together.
Throw one, throw two,
palms to the floor, tuck the knee.
Lay fetal,
roll on your back,
lay fetal.
