Hi, I am Emily Larew, and we are going to learn the military cramproll. Here we go. So we're going to add, on this whole level, add to our beginning basics with faster movements, a little bit more steps involved as well. Okay. So here we go. Our cramproll, we've already learned, was a four sound step, step, heel, heel. We're doing it on the right. So we have cramproll. Yes, four sounds. Make sure when you're really trying to get that cramproll, and even as you're trying to do the military cramproll, that you're really pressing into the balls of your feet so you can drop your heels and get those four sounds. Otherwise you're just going to hear, you know what I mean, instead of having four sounds. All right. So we're going to do a military cramproll is, you have cramproll, cramproll, cramproll, we're going to do a heel, heel, right, left. As you can see, it's very military sounding, right? So here we go. Do it one more time on the right with me and we'll switch it over to the left. Five, six, seven, eight, and a one. Again. Let's try left. Left, right, okay? So make sure you drop those heels left, right this time. Good job, that was your military cramprolls with three cramprolls and two heels.
