Basic Footwork For The Club I Tutorial For Beginners 49: Forward Back Toes Up

Hi guys, Monika here. Welcome to another tutorial. Today I have a good one for you. Let me show you the move with the music first and then I'm going to break it down. Stay tuned till the end of this video. I'm going to show you how you can use this movement when you freestyle. Today I'm going to show you a little bit of a footwork move. We're going to do a variation of the move that I taught you before. I'm going to link that video below and in the cards. This will be a version of the two step moving back and forth. So quickly, very quickly, in the basic version we were walking forward and back. So again one of the very very basic club dance moves. We were starting with the left foot forward, feet were together, you were tapping right foot next to it and then right foot was going back. Then you bring the left foot together. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Well today very similar version but as you're going to step back we're going to add one little detail. We'll change one thing. Forward is the same. When you're stepping back with your right foot, left toes will pop up and you're going to lean forward. Okay not too far, not too far. Let's try it again. Left foot forward, one, two, go back, three, four. See what happened there? Same footwork, just lift the toes as gradually you're shifting the weight to the back. Okay I'll show you sideways, you'll see it better. We're going forward first. We have one, two, lift toes, three, four, forward again, five, six, lift toes, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I'll add the torso, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Don't give me like a full-on bow, it's a very small movement, just a little action forward. For the arms, nothing specific, you feel free to keep them loose by your side. Let's try again, five, six, stepping forward, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Again, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. It's important to notice that my knees stay bent, I'm not bouncing up and down like we do in you know regular two-step, we're dropping the body to make it look looser. Here I start off with the knee bent and I stay on the same level. Even when I finish, knees are bent. When I step forward or back, they stay bent. Do not do it with straight legs, it will feel totally different. Another option would be to, if you have the coordination, another option would be to, after you push off of that front foot, when the feet get together, you can drop even lower. So let me show you how different this would look. You would go one, two, three, drop, one, two, three, drop. See? So one little detail. If it's not too much, feel free to add that. Let me show you with the music. Six, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Just the feet first, add the torso lean. One, two, three, four, five, six. I'm keeping the knees bent and then I'll add that extra bounce at the end. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Okay, good guys. Let me show you how I'll use this move in the freestyle.
