Street Dance Masterclass

-Hi. I'm Perri.

-And I'm Jordan. BOTH: And we're part of Diversity.

Welcome to the Street Dance Masterclass.

We'll take you on a journey with some of the top names in dance

to show you how to move street.

We've taken the judges from Alesha's Street Dance Stars

to show you guys how to street dance.

-So, first up it's...

-Grooves. With head judge Kenrick Sandy.

He shows how to groove the shoulders and move street

with help from the Super Six Dance Crew.

Hi. I'm Kenrick,

performer, choreographer and artistic director.

I was the head judge of Alesha's Street Dance Stars.

I've worked with Plan B, Peter Andre

and the Saturdays.

I went to my first street dance class at the age of 18

and I got hooked.

Today I want to share with you

how to find your groove.

To help me do this I've enlisted the help of...

-(DEEP VOICE)

-The Super Six Dance Crew.

MUSIC: "Run the World (Girls)" by Beyonce

Working with Kenrick's been one of the best experiences.

Can I go back and carry on dancing with them?

Thank you.

We took part in the Alesha's Street Dance Stars competition.

It's Super Six!

CHEERING, APPLAUSE

I have to say, that was really, really good.

Really, really good. Those routines were so much tighter.

The look, everything right now, you're looking like a proper crew.

What is the groove?

The groove is the relationship between your body and the music.

Ways of finding a groove can be done by

nodding your head,

bending your knees,

clapping your hand,

finding a feeling...

Health and safety is really important when you're dancing.

Make sure that you

remove all jewellery,

get rid of any chewing gum,

drink plenty of water,

rest if you feel tired at any point,

wear the right clothing and footwear,

spread out and use all the space in the room.

Before we get started, we need to do a warm-up.

This is essential in order to prevent any injuries.

Guys, you all ready?

-Yeah!

-OK. Let's do this.

For this warm-up, all I want you to do is follow my lead.

URBAN MUSIC PLAYS

Yeah?

Keep it on the spot.

Take it to the side.

Take it to the other side.

And...

So that's your warm-up.

Are you all warm? I am.

OK. So now we're going to get down into the routine.

This routine has a selection of different grooves.

This is Section 1.

We start off with our feet together,

taking our elbow out

and our knees to the opposite direction,

making sure that we make this diagonal line.

We're then going to do that move again.

Then we're going to take it to the side

and double it on this side as well.

Then from here we're going to go to singles,

one here,

one here.

Do that again.

And one more.

From here

we go into what is the SD bounce.

Arms are going to go into a circular motion

and the knee is going to pop up.

So we do that twice here

then we take it up.

Go to the other side

here,

and take it up.

OK.

Now, let's do that again with counts.

So we start off, we'll go

And for the SD bounce

the low and the high.

OK, now we're going to go into Section 2.

We start off, we've taken ourself to the side,

bringing our body forward, arms back

popping our knee twice.

We then take our body back,

clap,

pop the knee twice again,

throwing the arms down, then back up.

Two bounces again,

then taking ourself forward,

one bounce here

and the arms come up.

From there, we take ourselves down

and basically we're going to have our elbow over our knee.

Bounce them out, making sure they stay together, OK?

Take it to the other side

and do the same thing.

After that, take it up

using the same move

and go across.

Come to here.

OK, make sure the elbow and the knee are working together.

So let's go from the top with counts.

So we're going to go

one, two,

three, four.

This is five,

six to the front,

seven, eight.

This is one, two.

This is three, four.

and one, two, three, four

five, six, seven, eight

and one, two, three, four

five, six, seven, eight.

And that's your Section 2.

Remember

body directions...

..and elbow to knee.

OK, now we're going to go into Section 3.

We start off, we're bringing our body forward,

bending our knee, and our arms go back.

From here, we're going to bend the knee again.

Arms come to this position.

Body comes up.

From here, let's break this down into three sections.

We're going to step back.

We're going to bring the knee up.

And we're going to throw our arms up

similar to the SD bounce we did at the beginning of the routine.

OK, so, we do that again.

Stepping back,

knee comes up

and arms.

You'll do that move twice.

So we do that slowly.

You're going to go

up,

bring it down.

Up, bring it down.

From here, you go back to this position.

Back to this one.

But this time you'll take it to the side.

So instead of stepping back, you'll step to the side.

Knee,

arms.

You're going to do that again.

Step, knee, arms.

From there

you're going to give two bounce.

Now, from here

when you come to straighten up

you want to... Let's go back down.

Drag, slide

and a little bit of a hop all in one.

So drag, a slide, and a hop.

So from here...

And then come down.

Drag, slide, hop again.

To here.

Let's go back on ourselves here. So we'll go

bounce,

bounce,

down,

down.

Bounce again. One, two,

three, four, OK?

Now let's do that all with counts.

So we're going to go, one,

two,

three,

four.

Go five,

six,

seven,

eight.

Go one,

two, and three

and four.

Go five,

six, and seven

HIGH-SPEED SQUEAKY SPEECH

We're going to go

one,

two, three,

four. Go again,

seven, eight.

This is one, two

and three and four.

This is five, six

and seven and eight.

OK, let's do that with music.

MUSIC PLAYS

Get ready. Five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, and three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

This is one, two, and three and four,

five, six and seven and eight.

And that's Section 3.

Remember your prep to travel

and your drag, slide and hop.

So now we'll go into Section 4.

This is an opportunity for you to be creative.

So we start off with

four steps to the side.

One, two, three, four.

Then we'll be creative. We'll come back to that in a minute.

After that, you step back.

One, two, three, four.

Be creative.

To the side.

One, two, three, four.

Creative, coming forward.

One, two, three, four.

And be creative.

So what do I mean by being creative? I mean you bringing your groove.

If you want, you can bring your own flavour, your own style,

whichever social move you want to bring in.

Or, if you want

you can use one of our social grooves that we've put into this.

One of our grooves, and do a variation.

For example, if you wanted to use this one,

the one, two, three, four,

you may want to go, one, two

and maybe down, three, four

or whichever one they're doing.

If you wanted to use... hmm, SD bounce, this one.

But you may want to go one, two, and then to the side, three, four.

Another one, when we did one, two, one, two -

you may want to go one, two, three, four.

Either way, you can create a variation.

Decide on what you want to do, how you want to change it up

but, above all, bring YOUR groove, YOUR creativity at this point.

So let's go with counts.

So we've got step, two, three, four,

creative, six, seven, eight,

go one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Go one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Go one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

And that's you being creative, that's you bringing your groove.

'I think we should go with the music right now.'

Five, six, seven, eight,

and walk, two, three, four

and five, six, seven, eight.

And back, two, three, four and

five, six, seven, eight and

one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight and

one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

And that is your Section 4.

HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS

Five, six, seven, eight.

'For your performance, make sure you connect with your audience...

'..apply facial expressions...

'..and animate your moves.'

OK, we're now going to do a cool-down.

Start with bringing the hands towards the chest,

pushing it forward, breathing into the stretch,

taking it into the chest,

up to the ceiling,

taking your heels off the ground.

Take it down, behind the back,

pushing it back,

again, breathing into the stretch.

So release, come to here,

and one arm towards your chest.

'To the other arm.'

OK.

Grabbing the leg,

pulling it from your shin,

breathing into that stretch.

Relax.

Other leg.

Breathing into that stretch.

Relax that.

OK, taking the hands up,

taking it down...

..towards the floor, and just suspend yourself.

Feeling the stretch through the back of your legs.

Bend your knees, hands on the floor.

Try and keep your hands on the floor then straighten up your legs,

breathing in.

Down again.

One more time.

Breathing in...

Take it down.

Come up slowly...

Slowly, all the way through your spine.

Shake out your legs.

Chest forward...

Back in...

Foward...

Back in...

Forward...

Back in.

One more time. Forward...

And back in.

Breathing in...

Breathing out.

Breathe it in...

Out.

Little groove.

Once more.

To here.

Relax.

Through...

Feel it.

Don't care.

So this is a way of finding THE groove, or YOUR groove,

trying to find a relationship with your body and the music.

It's very important in hip-hop and street dance,

as this is a definite foundation

in trying to find the dance aspect of your movement.

As we've seen with Kenrick, it's about feeling the beat and getting into the groove.

Next up, it's locking - with another Alesha's Street Dance Star judge, Lizzie Gough.

She breaks it down with help from the 5XS Dance Crew.

Hi. I'm Lizzie Gough and I'm a dancer and choreographer.

I appeared on So You Think You Can Dance? as a finalist.

These are our judges. Lizzie!

'And also a judge on Alesha's Street Dance Stars.'

Wow! That's all I can say.

Today I'm going to teach you some street dance moves

in the style of locking.

Now, with me I have...

ALL: 5XS! Woo!

MUSIC: "Get Up Offa That Thing" by James Brown.

There's only four of us today because our fifth member, Ryan, is on holiday.

We like street because you can meet new people doing it,

and express yourself in different ways.

Locking is a style of funk dance.

It originated from America in the late Sixties, early Seventies.

Since then, it has evolved all around the world.

Health and safety is really important, so you have to make sure

you haven't got any chewing gum, you haven't got any jewellery,

and make sure you have the correct footwear, as this is very important.

Please make sure you drink plenty of water as you can get very thirsty,

and also, if you get tired,

just take a break and then come back into it.

But we haven't started yet, so let's begin.

-Are you ready, guys?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Yeah.

It's important to warm your body up before you start dancing,

so let's start with our feet apart and a really strong position.

We're going to start with our heads first,

and you're going to look side to side.

Ready, everyone? So you're going to look.

You can make it really like swoop side to side.

You're having a good look.

Now let's keep the eye line to the front

and still keep that sweet feel.

Now let's add a little shoulder to make it a bit more groovy.

So you can lift that shoulder up if you want.

Now let's just do it a little bit quicker side to side.

You can keep it soft.

Nice.

OK, let's go to our arms. Let's start with points.

Start at your shoulder, to the side.

From the shoulder to the side.

Now let's do it a little bit quicker.

So you'll go one, two, one, two.

And you can look as well, warm your head up even more.

Now, let's do our points to the front.

Still keeping it touching the other shoulder.

Brilliant.

Keep it nice and strong when you point forward.

OK, now let's go to the wrist rolls.

We're going to go down. Use the same wrist.

You have to really circle your wrist to warm it up.

Now let's do the other side.

So it kind of circles around where your ears are.

Now we're going to do it a bit quicker.

Go one, two and hold. And again.

One, two. Let's use the same arm.

And you slightly lean to the way you're rolling. One, two.

Other way. One, two.

Brilliant. OK, let's do a step touch.

Let's get the body a little bit warmer.

We can shake the hands out a little bit, get all that tension out.

Lift the feet up.

OK. Now let's add a little elbow.

It's a bit like a funky chicken.

Brilliant. OK, back to our marching on the spot.

OK, now we're going to do a grapevine to the side.

Side, behind, step, together, side, behind, step, together.

Now, we can add a little head here. That's it, boys.

Now let's add our arms as well.

Now keep it really funky, so pick your legs up a little bit more.

There you go.

Brilliant. OK, let's just use our hips.

So you're going to go side to side.

Now just make it a little bit quicker - one, two, three,

one, two, three,

one, two, three, one, two, three.

So, for now, we can keep it on one level, just to get our hips moving.

Brilliant.

OK, let's do our legs this way,

and let's just do, if you can, get your ribs moving.

Good. Now we're going to do a pace. Out, down, out, down.

Good.

So, slowly, your arms go in, out, in, down,

in, out, in, down.

Now let's try both arms.

In, out, in, down.

And if you can, you can still keep the chest, like, bouncing around.

Shall we try a bit quicker?

One, two, three, four.

Brilliant. OK.

Now... Just give your arms a little shake. Now we're going to go up.

Up, out. So nice right angle with that arm.

So it's like you're doing a muscle. Tense those muscles, yeah?

So you go up and out.

Up and out.

And you always come back in before you go out,

otherwise it looks a bit sloppy.

Really warm that body up. Let's do it the other way.

Up. So we change our feet.

That's it.

Brilliant.

Now let's add some feet, so let's march.

So you're going one, two, one, two.

Now really use your body,

down and up. Good.

Now let's add arms. You're going to go touch, touch.

So touch your feet.

This makes it a little bit easier for later.

So keep going.

Two...

three...

four...

five...

six.

Brilliant.

OK. Just shake it all out. Shake everything.

Take one big breath.

And we're ready to begin.

Now, let's start with Section 1.

You'll start with your feet apart,

but kind of facing the corner.

You're going to have this hole in your fingers, a bit like a zero.

You're going to pace for three, you're going to go one, two, three.

Then you're going to go step forward, and then feet together.

Now we're going to go into a scoop bot.

You go to the side, you punch down with both hands,

you go in. And we're going to do a cheeky little wrist wrap.

You come back, switch your hips and switch your hips again.

You come up to the Atlas, you down and you scoop and point to the front.

So let's do it one more time.

You bring your feet to the side. That's it.

We're going to do pace,

two, three,

step, together.

You go one, down, together,

up, down, point.

Two, three,

step, together.

You go one, down,

together, up,

down, point.

OK, let's do it a little bit faster. Let's have a go.

Feet apart, ready...

Seven, eight, one, two, three, step together.

And hold.

Great, well done.

'Remember to push your weight on your step...

'your scoot bot....

'And stay strong on your Atlas.'

OK, brilliant. So now on to Section 2.

So we've ended here.

Now we're going to do our step together,

also I say step touch, and you're going to do your elbows.

You do that once on each side.

On the second time do a nice slap.

And this is what we call "give myself five". That's it.

And then you give it to the other side.

Then you're going to step apart,

you're going to do two taps to the front - tap, tap.

You bring your arms down and you do a lock, then you bring up,

tap, tap, up, lock.

Now, let's try it again.

This time is a little bit different,

so you're going to go step,

lock, step, lock, step,

tap, step, tap.

Now you're going to look at your partner. Look at your partner.

You're going to do a tap-tap, you look back to the front,

you do a lock, you look back at your partner, tap, tap, back, front.

OK. So from here. This is a little bit different this time.

Now, you're going to go

one, two, three, four with a clap.

This time, to make it more fun,

you're going to look at your partner on up,

tap-tap, look at the front,

down. Look at your partner,

tap-tap, up, down.

Now let's try that a little bit faster.

Shall we do it from our points?

Five, six, seven, eight,

step, lock, lock, tap,

face your partner.

Tap-tap, lock, face your partner,

and hold.

And that's Section 2.

'Remember your elbows on the step touch...

'your lock...

'and partner work.'

On with Section 3. We're going to do a stop and go.

We're going to join our feet together

and make this kind of muscle man shape.

You're going to stop,

bring your foot back.

The same arm that goes back is the arm that comes forward -

a little bit confusing. You swing this arm round,

bring the other one round

and do a little rock forward and back.

So you do a little hit to the front.

You swing that arm back round and then you come back up.

We do that twice.

So you're going to go one, two,

boom, boom, round,

up, round, boom, boom, round.

Then... Don't go back up. Then we're going to do a rock steady.

You go hip, hip, hip,

hip, hip, hip,

quick, quick, quick,

quick, quick, quick.

So let's join those together.

So you're going to go... You've just gone...

Here, you're going to go

up, back, rock, rock, round,

up, back, rock, rock, round.

Rock steady, down, tap, tap, tap,

tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

You're going to go up, back,

rock, rock, round.

Up, back, rock, rock, round.

Rock steady, down,

tap, tap, tap,

tap, tap, tap,

tap, tap, tap.

And make sure you go up, down when you do that.

Shall we try it a little bit quicker? So start with our feet apart.

Ready? Five, six, seven, eight.

Up, round, hip, hip, up.

Up, round, hip, hip, round.

Rock steady...

And hold this position.

And hold. Good.

SHE LAUGHS

'Remember your hips on the stop and go...

'Your arm on the rock steady...

'And keep your knees soft.'

OK, the last section, Section 4. You're going to swoop.

Your feet are together.

You're going to go up into Atlas, bring your arms down.

You're going to go into a lock.

Remember to have a hunchback on the lock.

Then we'll transfer our weight,

you're going to point to the front, and point to the front.

After that, we do six walks on the spot -

one, two, three, four,

five, six.

Bring your feet back to where you started. OK?

And on those walks, make it really funky,

so really let your head go, then your ribs and your arms.

Let's make it big. Let's try it again, that section.

So you're going to go swoop,

up, down, lock,

point, point.

A little bit of a change.

Instead of marching on the spot, let's cross over.

So six walks - one, two, three, four,

five, six. Hold your position.

OK? Shall we try that a little bit quicker?

You can stay where you are, then we'll move back to where we were.

So ready? Five, six, seven, eight.

Swoop, up, down, lock,

point, point.

And march, one, two, three, four,

five, six. Hold your position.

There you go.

'Remember to keep your points sharp...

'Get funky...

'And travel on the walks.'

It's really important to cool down after you've been dancing

and slow the heart rate down. So, let's have our feet apart.

We're going to breath in and stretch our arms up.

So you're going to breathe in... and out.

And in... and out.

To the side...

and hold.

And hold and then we start coming out of the stretch,

down to the other side. Really try and stretch your fingers.

And hold. Stretch all of your side and come back down.

OK, now let's do our shoulders so roll them up

and drop them and roll them up, drop them.

Give them a little shake.

Good. OK, now you're going to roll your head down. Bend your knees.

Roll your head down, slowly.

Give your hands a shake, shake your hips are little bit.

And roll up really slowly.

And up. One more time down.

Shake your hands, shake your fingers, shake your hips.

Roll up.

And shake your arms. Shake your legs.

Shake everything. Brilliant.

Locking keeps you fit, it's a whole lot of fun

and it's such a funky style. Just try it. These guys did.

Love that locking style. Thanks, Lizzie.

Next up is house with our final judge, Turbo.

He demonstrates, step by step, how to dance house.

Hi, I'm Turbo, an entertainer and choreographer

and I was also a judge on Alesha's Street Dance Stars.

The madman Turbo!

APPLAUSE

All I have to say is...

WAY-YAH!

Is there space for another member?

# Dng, tsh-tsh-tsh-tsh. #

I've worked with artists such as Will Smith, Madonna

and Whitney Houston.

House was born in America in the 1970s.

It's one of the only street dance styles that started out

in the clubs and not in the streets.

Now let's start by finding the beat.

Hip hop is on the downbeat.

House is on the upbeat.

By dancing on the upbeat, house allows dancers' arms to be free

and let the beat take control of their movements.

House is a club dance.

There are foundation steps

but you still have the freedom to add your own flavour.

To help me do this, I've enlisted the help of...

the Masters of Motion dance group from Essex.

We got through to the heats

of the Alesha's Street Dance Stars competition.

You had me up.

I was getting down. Like you guys were really, really sick.

Before we get started, health and safety is really important

when you're dancing. So make sure that you...

remove all jewellery,

get rid of any chewing gum,

drink plenty of water,

rest if you feel tired at any point,

wear the right clothing and footwear...

..spread out and use all the space in the room.

Before you start dancing, it's important to warm up your muscles.

I like to warm up because it helps me find my focus to perform.

OK, we're going to start with our jacks and get into the warm up.

-You guys ready?

-Yeah.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

Standby, jacks, five, six, seven and...

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five... speed it up, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six... heel and toe, slow.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six... speed it up, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

OK, we're going to go again. One more time.

Here we go.

Jacks - five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... speed it up.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six... heel and toe. Go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five... speed it up, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

OK, stand where you are.

Hands come up.

Take them out.

And again.

And out.

Take your right arm, put it across your chest.

Bring your left arm up. Pull it gently. Not too hard.

We don't want anyone to injure themselves.

OK, release that arm, shake it. Other arm, across your chest.

Pull it gently.

That's it, relax and shake.

Hands out in front of you and rotate your wrists.

Stop. Other way round.

Shake.

Take one hand, put it behind your back.

Grab your elbow

and gently pull on it. Not too hard.

That's it, relax. Arms up and the other arm.

Behind your back, grab the elbow and pull on it gently.

You can still move as well while you're stretching as well.

All right? OK, arms out. Shake.

Last stretch, feet together.

Head down to your chest, go down to your toes.

That's it.

Stay there for a little bit and bend your knees.

And then come up very slowly.

And shake.

And that's your warm up.

Keep on the balls of your feet...

and let your arms be free.

OK, guys. I'm going to teach you section one.

We're going through the jacks and the pas de bourree, OK?

So, first off, slowly jack your body and push up from your knees,

going through your waist, up to your body.

OK? Good down, up.

Down, up.

Down, up. Down, up.

OK, it's very slow paced.

Do that again. Go down, up.

Down, up. Down, up.

Down, up. OK?

From there, you're going to go into your pas de bourree.

Going to take your leg.

It's going step behind.

Left leg steps out.

Step on your right.

OK, and it's done really slowly. Do it again.

Take your other food, put it behind. Step out.

Step on the other foot. OK?

Let's go from the top. Very slowly. So we've got, jack, hair.

Jack, hair. Jack. And jack.

Then step, step, step for your pas de bourree.

Step, step, step, step. OK?

From here you're going to do the pas de bourree again but this time

you're going to do it four times and it's going to be slightly faster.

OK? Same step. This time we're going step, step, step.

Other side, step, step, step.

Again, step, step, step.

Step, step, step.

Now we're going with the counts.

So, we're going to go one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Now let's do it to some music. You guys ready?

-You guys ready?

-Yeah.

-You guys ready?

-Yeah.

-Here we go!

You guys better be ready as well.

Here we go. Six, five... six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And that was section one.

Don't forget your jack,

to bend your knees and double time on your pas de bourree.

Now I'm going to teach you section two,

which is your stumps, retreats, shuffles and tic-tac-toe.

OK, we'll start with our stomps.

What you're going to do is jump up and raise your leg up in the air.

Keeping it up and you put the foot down and you jump up.

Do the exact same thing on the other leg.

Jump up, put the foot down, Jump out.

From here we move to our retreats. You're going to raise your leg

and turn at the same time so you jump up, raising the leg,

put the foot down and then jump out.

Do the exact move again, going in the opposite direction.

Leg up, foot goes down, and then you jump out.

From here we're going to go to the shuffles.

Coming up on the heels, twisting your toes out, heels come out

and then toes are going to go back in the opposite direction.

Toes, heels, toes.

From here we're going to a move called the tic-tac-toe.

You go tic... tac... toe.

Same thing but we're going to take it to the front on the heels,

heels, back, back.

-Now let's do that with some counts. You guys ready?

-Yeah.

-Here we go.

Five, six, seven, eight...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

-Let's do it to some music. You guys ready for the music?

-Yeah.

-You guys ready for the music?

-Yeah.

Are you guys ready for the music?

You better be. Here we go.

Five, six... five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And that was section two.

Remember, listen to the upbeat on your stomp and retreat,

toe, heel, toe...

..and relax on your tic-tac-toe.

Now I'm going to teach you section three which is your skates,

your happy feet, dip and jack and your jack-in-the-box.

OK, first we're going to start with our skates.

Take your right leg, skate out.

Take your leg up, like you're playing baseball.

Skate out again, pick it up.

Skate out. Pick it up and take it out.

With the last one, extend it nice and slow. OK?

From here you're going to go into your happy feet.

Your feet will cross.

You uncross them. You cross them again.

Uncross.

From here you're going to jump onto both heels going forward.

That might happen. And then jump back.

From here, you're going to dip down.

Come up and have two jacks on the centre.

From here, you're going to go into a jack-in-the-box.

Going to go from one side to the other as double it up on one side.

So...

One side, other side, double.

One side, other side, double.

With this, you can do it however you want.

You can do it up here, you can do it down here.

As long as you're doing one, one and then the other. OK?

-Let's do that with some counts. You guys ready?

-Yeah.

Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Five, six, seven, eight...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Let's do all of that again but this time, with music.

-You're ready to do it with music?

-Yeah.

-Are you ready to do it with music?

-Yeah.

Here we go with the music.

Five, six... five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

That is section three.

Now it's time for section four.

We're going to combine sections one, two and three

and turn them into a performance.

Then I'm going to give you some advice on how you can develop

your routine further.

-You guys ready?

-Yeah.

-You guys ready?

-Yeah.

-I'm ready.

You guys better be ready. Here's the music.

Five, six... five, six, seven, eight.

To develop your routine further, you can try canon...

..or you could try changing your positions.

It's very important to cool down after you've been dancing.

To slow your heart rate down and to bring your breathing back to normal.

Let's start by rotating our heads half way.

Here we go. Around one way.

Up. Back around the other way.

And the other way.

And in one direction

and the other.

And the other direction.

And the other.

And look up...

and down.

Look up...

..down.

Rotate your shoulders backwards.

And forwards.

OK? Your feet out nice and wide.

And bring your feet in.

Bend your knees.

And stretch.

And bend.

And come up slowly.

Shake out.

And that's your cool down.

Well done. You've just performed a house routine.

Once you've identified the upbeat, you just need to allow yourself

to be free and let the music take control.

These guys did. So, that's bye from me, Turbo, and...

ALL: Masters Of Motion!

Turbo has definitely got some great moves. Thanks, Turbo.

We hope you learnt what street dance is all about.

Don't be scared, give it a go and have fun with it.

Heel to... toe!

THEY LAUGH

Are you warm? I hope so because I am.

Some simple dance moves...
