Hi. I'm Emily Larew and if you've been watching our previous clip, we landed our last clip on seven. So we're going to continue on in our advanced step combination with eight, one through four. Ok? So we just sat into it on seven, up here on seven, hold eight. From there on eight you're going to stop your left foot forward. Eight. You have half shuffle step. Ready? Half shuffle step. Step. You're going to pencil turn so I want you to push your arms down. So we go, eight, one and two, you're going to turn, pencil turn three. So again you're way on the balls of your feet, hands tabletop, toe right out in front of you, and when you're doing a pencil turn with no nerve taps you want to just barely off the floor, okay. Don't keep it high at like a forty-five degree angle. Keep it just a couple inches off the floor. So five, six, seven, eight, one and two, three, you're going to sit down with your foot together and bend your knees in the same position like you're cute as a cucumber. Ready? Five, six, seven, eight, one and two, three, four. Great work.
