Step Touch in Jazz Dancing

Hi! My name is Maila Damian on behalf of Expert Village. I'm a dance choreographer, fitness expert, and performer for over 15 years. Today, I"m going to be showing you how to do basic jazz dance. Let's get started. If at first it seems kind of hard, don't worry. Just keep practicing and you'll get it. So, let's get started. We're going to learn step touch. First, step to the side and touch our foot to the ground. Great. Now, the other side. Step and touch. Make sure you really point that toe to the ground like this, and point. Now, again, let's do it slow. Step and touch, step and touch, 2 more, step and touch, and step and touch. Now, for our hands we're going to do up and down, up, down, up, down, and last one. Together it's going to be 1, 2, step, and touch. Great and touch, last one, together. Now we're going to do it a little bit faster now. Ready, begin. 1, and 2 more. Good job. Now you're ready to learn the next step.
