Travelled all over the world cause I teach hip hop culture and right now I'm ready to teach you some dances for the club. Let's get it started. Basic two-step, travel back. So we're going to start the same way we did before with our knees bent, feet together. Now, you're gonna step back with the right foot but at an angle, so, you're bending your knees and you step back at an angle. Good. Same shoulder, same foot, same direction. Good, you bring your knees together bring your left to your right bend your knee. Boom. Now you're gonna take the left and your gonna travel back at an angle, boom. Straighten the legs. You're gonna bend this, with this knee and this knee that makes two knees you're gonna bend both your knees, bring em together. Good, so we're gonna try that again. So, you have to bend, up, down, up, down, up, down. So let's try that, one more again last time. So you have, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, together.
