So I think I'm pretty credible to teach you. Be positive, be strong, let's do it. Now we got footwork basics. If you know me, this is all I'd love to do. Footwork, alright? After top rock, you go into footwork. After dancing on top, you hit the floor. Anything that involves your feet kicking around and your hands on the floor is a footwork basic move. Alright? Boom.

The perfect form for footwork is to have your butt up, you know, like you're sitting on a chair and also to use your hips, alright, and you're legs are just whipping around. Alright, so as far as, you can watch, I'm moving my hips and footwork. And that's how you rock some footwork.
