So, we're going lean to the left, lean to the right, lean to the left. As we're leaning we're going pop; so the knees are going outwards, in and out, in and out, in and out. Smooth it out. So, we're going out, out, out, in, out, okay? Pop, pop, pop, pop. So, that's the basic step. So, now you're gonna add some character and some individuality to the step. So, all right, now we're gonna go here. Move it around. Add some swag, whatever you want. You're doing the jerk. Here you go. Boom, all right, let's try it with some music.
