Episode 15 Epic Quick Blast

Welcome to the world of Epic!

The place where you can become a master at everything on the planet.

No matter what it is, this programme shows you how to do it.

So sit back, strap yourself in

and get ready to become epic at everything!

Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.

First up, if you're going to throw a party,

then this girl can help you out.

Hey, I'm B. Traits, music producer,

DJ and radio presenter here at the world-famous BBC Radio 1

and today I'm going to be telling you guys a little bit

about how to DJ the perfect party.

Whoo-hoo, let's party!

You may think it's all about picking your favourite tunes

but there's more to it than that.

The first thing you want to do is pick an intro track.

It's got to be something to grab your audience's attention.

This is the one I've picked. DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

I was going to go for Tom Jones. This is probably cooler.

The most important thing for deejaying a party is to really

enjoy the music that you're playing.

OK, B. Traits, let's see you in action.

DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES

Hmm, rockin'.

So your finishing track is almost as important as your intro track.

For example, I like to end my DJ set on something like this.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Everybody goes crazy to it, everybody sings along.

It's a perfect ending track.

And that's how you DJ the perfect party.

Nice one, B. Traits. See you later.

Ever wanted to wow your mates with a cool football trick?

John Farnworth is here to show you how.

I'm going to show you a football freestyling trick

called the next door.

OK, John, show us the skills.

Step one, throw the ball above the head, straight in the air.

But not too high. Around 30 centimetres.

Easiest thing I've done all day.

Step two, position your body as if to head the ball

but before it hits your head, duck down and cushion it

on the back of your neck.

Oh, you've got to be kidding! Help me out, here, John!

A good tip to remember is to start in a standing position

and then bend over so your upper body is parallel to the floor like this.

It's also worth holding the ball in this position

so you can get used to the balance and the feel.

Maybe practise this bit in private.

Once you've mastered the technique, it's time to give this trick a go.

So start with the feet,

flick it up nice and straight,

cushion on the neck,

keep your back straight, your head up,

and your arms can be back or stretched out to the side.

So, to do an epic next door,

start by throwing the ball straight up.

Go to head the ball but, at the last minute,

bend over to catch it on your neck.

Keep your shoulders back to balance the ball.

Once you get confident,

you can even start to stick in a few new, cool moves.

Yep, totally useless in a game of football but outrageously epic.

And that's how to be epic at the next door.

Thank you, John.

We are taking this right from the H to the T.

That's head to the toe between me and you.

Now, grab your ballet shoes and get on your tippies.

Ballet is truly epic.

You get to stand on your toes, twirl around and wear a tutu.

Hrm-hrm, I mean tights.

I mean...yeah, it's dead manly.

Anyway, want to know how to do it like a pro? Watch this girl.

My name's Lizzie Gough

and I'm going to show you how to curtsy like a prima ballerina.

Do what? Like who?

Ahh! But how?

You're going to start off in a ballet position

which is known as first position and it looks like this.

I'm a natural!

From here, you're going to point your foot to the side, then you're going

to transfer your weight onto this foot and open your arms out.

Got it. Next.

Then you're going to slide this foot backwards

and transfer your weight back up and open your hands

and point your front foot.

I thought this was going to be easy.

Then you're going to close it off back into first position.

And curtsy.

-You're going to point your foot to the side.

-Oh, right, there's more.

You're going to transfer your weight onto this foot.

At the same time, you're going to bring the back foot behind

and you're going to bend forward and take your arm across.

Oof, curtsying is complicated. Once more for me?

So, to curtsy, you need to do this with your arms,

lots of pointing with your toes,

the odd slide and finally...

-yeah, that.

-CHEERING

And that's how you can be epic at doing a curtsy.

Cool moves, Lizzie.

I just need to learn how to dance now.

So there you have it. Your quick blast of epicness.

Now go forth and be epic at everything!
