Hi guys, welcome back. Okay, this is a summary class of steps 1, 2 and 3 of the Skate Fresh
Dance Challenge. So this is just a class to help you with the transitions between
one step and the other and then we're going to practice it slowly in tempo with me and at a
faster tempo. Okay, so let's, you know, hopefully you've done 1, 2 and 3 separately. Let's look at
how step 1 goes into step 2. Okay, so step 1, as you remember, and I'm going to do it now with my
back facing to you because quite a lot of people find it easier to copy an exact version of what
they're doing, which would be starting with your space happening on the right and we're going to
begin with the right foot for the four walks and the four poses. Okay, so off we go with the right
foot. Five, six, seven, eight. So right, left, right, left, in front, behind, in front, behind. We would then
repeat, yeah, and we'd finish in this position. So the last step is behind and then you just pick that
right foot up and you go straight into the side step. Yeah, left, together, inverse. Okay, so let's do
one set of step 1 straight into the side step. Okay, five, six, seven, eight. Right foot, right, left,
right, left, front, back, front, back, side step. One, two, invert, stop. One, two, invert and stop.
Well done. So you do that another two times. So everything happens four times. Okay, so coming
back from the last side step. Yeah, we would finish, invert and stop and this foot is going to lift
and then immediately go backwards for the New York Shuffle. Okay, so let's do two side steps and into
New York Shuffle. Seven, eight. So right, right, invert, stop, left, invert, stop and New York. Backwards, backwards,
forward, forward, invert, kick and again backwards, backwards, forward, forward, invert, kick.
Okay, you got it? All right, let's do, I don't have any music here. Right now it's not possible
for me to play music. I will try and sort that out but for now we're just going to go with my voice.
Okay, so this is the slow and we're going to do two of step one, two of step two and four
of the New York Shuffle. Okay, so two walks and points, two walks, two side steps there and back
and then New York. Okay, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, in front, back, in front. Repeat that.
One, two, three, four, in front and back and again side step. One, two, invert, stop. One,
two, invert and New York. Backwards, backwards, forward, forward, straight ahead, kick.
Backwards, backwards, forward, forward, straight ahead, kick. Two more and backwards, backwards, forward,
straight ahead, kick. Backwards, backwards, forward, forward, straight ahead, kick and you could go
straight back into number one. All right, and that way, you know, find a song that's the right
tempo for you and then just keep doing one, two, three, step one, two, three. Okay, right, let's do
exactly the same thing with a faster tempo for those of you that felt that was too slow, too easy.
Okay, let's do a faster tempo. All right, so same thing, two of the first one, two of the side steps
and four New York shuffles and then straight back into number one again. Okay, so five, six, seven,
eight. One, two, three, four, in front and back, in front and back again. One, two, three, four,
front, back, side step. One and two, invert, stop. One and two and now New York. Backwards, backwards,
forwards, forwards, straight ahead, kick. Backwards, backwards, forwards, forwards, straight ahead,
kick. Two more. Backwards, backwards, forwards, forwards, straight ahead, kick. Backwards, backwards, forwards,
forwards, straight ahead, kick and straight into the walk. Go one, two, three, four, forwards, back
again. One, two, three, four, forwards, back, side step and one, two, invert. One, two, invert,
New York. Backwards, backwards, forwards, forwards, straight ahead, kick. Backwards,
backwards, forwards, forwards, straight ahead, kick. Well done! Did you keep up? Now that last
one is pretty high tempo, yeah? It's not easy. And again, this is why it's important for you
to practice at your tempo, whatever works well for you, and then try and find a song
that allows you to use that tempo, okay? So again, I'm going to try and get some music sorted. I
can't at the moment play music, it's all on my phone, and I can't play it whilst I'm filming,
so that's something I will try and figure out. But until then, it's actually quite useful just
to go at your best tempo, okay? Alright, next class will be class number four in the sequence,
alright? You want to make sure you have these more or less happening before you add too much,
okay? And it should start to go, if you go step one, step two, step three, step one,
step two, step three. If you keep doing that, that little section, one, two, and three, becomes
one chunk in your brain, yeah? You don't have to remember what's the second step, what's the third.
If you keep practicing this over and over, that becomes one block, yeah? And we're going to learn
it in blocks of three. And then as we stick it all together, you get a great sequence, okay?
So, keep practicing, send me your videos, skatefreshdancechallenge, hashtag, and tag me
on Instagram, skatefreshasha, if you put your video on stories, and I will try and share as
many as I can on my stories. I love seeing you guys doing this in your homes, and in your garages,
and in your gardens, you know? I really, it's one of the highlights of my day. So, well done,
thank you for taking part, and I hope it's helping in some little way. Take care, see you for class
soon. Bye.
