Alright, so they got this new dance called the shuffle. Matter of fact, I’m gonna break it down to the basic of the basics. It’s called the T shuffle. You start like this, with your heels together, with your toes apart. But there’s two parts to this, so I’m gonna show you the right leg first. So, you want the toes to come in, good. See how your toes lift off the floor? Good. The heel is gonna lift off the floor next, boom. Let’s try that again. Toe’s off the floor, boom, good. Heel’s off the floor, same direction, boom, put the weight on the toe, boom, balls of the foot. So now, the second part: heels together, toes turned out, good. You’re gonna bring it up, up, and it comes down. Up, it comes down. Not en passe because this has nothing to do with ballet technique. Very respected, but this is a different dance, different dance style. Bring the foot up, it comes down. Bring the foot up, it comes down. Now, that’s two parts, we’re gonna try to pull these two parts together. So, as you bring the foot up, boom, don’t fall, like me, your toes have to come in, and you bring it down, boom. The toes open up, foot comes down. Let’s try that again. So, you bring the foot up, boom. Bring the heel together, boom. So, let’s try it a little faster. And, one, and, two, and, three, and, four. Your right leg will be diesel after this. So, let me get my DJ to drop the very slow beat. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Good! Let’s try that again, slow, five, six, seven, eight.

What up y’all? My name is Tweet Boogie, I represent the south Bronx. I had my first hip hop crew at 14. I’ve done some work with Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, Destiny’s Child. Travel all over the world because I teach hip hop culture and right now I’m ready to teach you some dances for the club. Let’s get it started.

Now you’re in a club and you’re at a party and all of a sudden you hear this music comes on. Now you feel like you’re on an island, so now the mood changes and now it’s no longer pop music and it’s no longer R & B and it’s no longer hardcore rap. Now, they have Jamaican music playing. Now, everybody’s doing this dance.

This dance is called the Wind. I’m going to teach you how to Wind and it’s actually from the dance style called dance hall.

So, what you want to do is feet apart, you want to bend your knees, got to get pretty low. Get pretty low so now, hands on your hips, so you want to take your hips to the right, to the right. Make sure you got a nice little arch so everybody can see your hips go to the right. They need to come forward, boom. Good. Now they need to come to the left, boom. Now they need to go back, boom. You can have your hands to guide you if you don’t know. Now you don’t want to use your entire body like you’re doing a hula hoop. You only want to isolate your hips so the deeper you sit, the better control that you should have on your hips. So they go to the right, to the front, to the left, to the back. Good, when the go to the back make sure you have an arch in your back ladies especially. Good, you don’t want to look like this, like you’re going to tip over. So once again. To the right, forward, left, to the back, and cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, dollar. Cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, dollar. Now you see me isolating my hips but it should be smooth. So you want to go in a singular, circular motion, good. And the deeper you sit, good. You can only move your hips, and this right here is Winding. You can drop your arms, make sure your low. Not too low, got to keep it tasteful. So, I need the DJ, to play my dance hall song. You got dance hall. And this is Sean Paul, but, when you so he’s not here either. So, you’re going to bend your knees, hands on your hips, good. Make sure it’s a nice deep bend, bounce. Five, six, seven, eight to the right, forward, to the left, to the back. Make sure you arch side, forward, to the left, to the right. And five, six, seven, eight and the right forward, left, back, right, forward. Left, back, now slow. And slow. You have to go through all of the positions, good. Now this is slow Wind. Slow Wind. Good, now you got to do it faster. And boom, and make sure it’s in a circular, movement boom. You can drop your arms, you can place them on your thighs, good. And you can lean back, not too far back, don’t fall. It’s a good workout for your thighs, but that’s pretty much it. And that there is how you Wind.

What up ya’ll, my name is Tweet Boogie. I represent the South Bronx. Had my first hip hop crew at 14. Done some work with Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Destiny’s Child. Traveled all the way 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. I personally think the best dances to do at a clubbasically just keep it really simple. I don’t think there’s any specific move. You can do a nice little two step, maybe from side to side. I think, especially if you’re going to meet somebody or if you like to go and go there with somebody on a date, definitely don’t be on the floor, don’t get too touchy touchy, grabby grabby, feely feely. I think taking somebody’s hand is really nice. I think it’s tasteful. I don’t think you need to go out and try to bust a move to try to impress somebody. Just as long as you keep the rhythm, most important because people don’t wanna dance with somebody that does not know how to dance. So if you don’t know how to dance, the worst thing that you can do is one, not try, and two, try to hard. So you really wanna just keep it simple. Find the beat, and men, just follow the women. Women have a natural, natural movement from side to side. Just follow their rhythm. You can never go wrong. Just stand there and look cute.

“What up y’all? My name is Tweet Boogie. I represent the South Bronx. I had my first Hip Hop crew at 14. Done some work with Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Destiny’s Child. Traveled 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.

So this style that I’m about to teach you right now is called popping. Arms up. Now, popping is basically a flex and release of the muscle. So, first we’re going to use our arms. Our arms, the parts that we’re gonna use, is our bicep and our forearm. Basically you want to make a muscle. Make a muscle‚Ķ and relax. Good. Release the muscle. You have to flex the muscle, make a muscle, and relax. Good. When you relax, make sure you’re completely relaxed. You have to relax this part of your body as well. So try it again. You wanna flex the bicep and the forearm at the same time. Try this again. So, flex, release, flex, release, flex, release, flex, release. Now you can do it at the same time. Flex, release, flex, release, flex, release, flex, release. There, that’s how you use your arms. You can also use your tricep which is the back of your arm. Now when your arm is straight you don’t want to lock the elbow, you want to leave it relaxed. So when it’s straight, boom, you want to flex the arm. Good. Ninety degree – bicep, forearm. Straight – you want to flex the tricep which is on the back of the arm. Good. No ballet arms, no manicures. Good.

No I’m going to show you your legs. So, wait a minute, wait for it. What you want to do is you want to use the quad in your legs. That’s the thigh muscle. You want to flex it just like this. Flex, flex, flex. At the same time, that leg needs to go back. The knee needs to go back, back, back. Good. But don’t do it and go down. Don’t change levels. Stay, it just needs to go back. So when you bend it, it comes in a neutral point. You understand, like a neutral level? And go back, back, back, back. When it comes back, that’s when you flex. Don’t try to flex when the knee goes out. That’s a forward pop and we only want to do the back pop. Good. Back, back, back. So now, we have to do both the right leg and the left leg at the same time. So you’re flexing both right and left. Make sure after you flex you release the muscle. If you don’t release it you’re going to walk away like this. Very stiff, and it’s not a good feeling.

So, let’s try to put them both together, arms and legs. So, here we go. Both arms, and legs. So 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. Make sure that you are using the leg muscle. Do not just bring your knees back because you could insure yourself and we want less, settle settle, injury, so try it again. So, we’re going to this step, it’s called the Fresno. Boom, boom. Good. You want to shift from right to left. Right side, left side. Make sure the arm that’s down, this arm does not go on a vacation. It doesn’t be lazy, it doesn’t go to sleep, doesn’t go on a cruise. You need to use it as well. So, both body parts, all four body parts, are being utilized. So try it again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Now, we’re going to put it to some music so you can see, “”well how can I do that at a party, or at a block party, or in a club, or with a partner””? DJ! Uh oh, ay, let’s go. 5, 6, 5, 6, 7, slow, 1, 2, 1, 2. You have to use both arms and both legs. Good. That’s slow, now mid tempo. Here we go, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2. Good. Notice how I shift my weight from side to side. Good. You don’t want to go down, up, down, up. You want to shift from side to side. Your legs are still going back. Back, back, back, back. Here we go. Good! And that’s how you pop.

“Welcome you all. My name is Tweet Boogie. I represent the south ,have my first hip hop at 14, done some work with jay Z, Mary j blige, Stephanie chao, travelled all over the world because i see hip hop culture and right now I am ready to teach you some dances for the club. Lets start. So everybody at the club,everybody wants to know how to grind,so i got my partner here,””U ready””, “”I am ready””, he is ready to grind. so you have a lady and you have a gentleman, he should stand behind the female and basically this is when there is a connection,now you can grind when it be very intimate, i understand, but it doesn’t always need to be crunchy,it could be very tasteful,right. No need to be a whole lot of touchy feeling when you are grinding,it can be a nice grind especially when you don’t know the feeling. “”I don’t know you don’t touch me””. But this is how you could make the connection, so we are very intimate. We both bend on knees.Good. Now our waists are gona go in the same circular motion. So its gona go around and around and around and around. Now he may lean to the left and you may lean to the right with the same circular motion. So we gona go,around and around and around and around especially if you don’t know the guy, you don’t want to be all upon him, so you might gona lean to the side so that you still can show him that like i do wana dance with you but i don’t want to all upon you. “”I got you””. “”He got me””. ok. So we gona try this really slow with music so you can understand the concept of what grinding is.

“”Dance with song””

Now remember it can be very intimate but it doesn’t have to be crunchy. We need to do the grind very tastefully especially “”I know you””,””Respect the women””. “”Yes,respect the lady””. Thank you”

This segment would be getting a guy to dance from a girl’s perspective. So ladies, say you want to get on the dance floor, but your guy doesn’t necessarily want to dance yet. So how do you get him to come on the dance floor? First off, you hear your song, and you’re looking at him, and he’s looking at you, but you don’t really know for sure if he really wants to dance. And you’re like, “”Come on!”” So you take him by the hand, and you try to pull him in. But you have to back up. A nice way to do it is doing the two-step. So you’ve got to back up and pull him in. But say there’s a big distance between you and he doesn’t really want to move, you’ve got to come to him. Good. You’ve got to get a little close. Good. Maybe turn around. Good. Now you’ve got to back it up. Now you’ve got him really excited, and you’ve got him interested and wanting to dance with you on the dance floor. So now we’re going to try this with music, so that you are sure to know that this will work. So let’s try this again. DJ. So, this is my song, oh I want to dance, this is my song. So he sees that this is your song. Oh let’s dance sweetie, come on.

We’re going to have feet planted together. Good. Have your arms in front of you. Good. Then, you want to take your hips, and you want to swing it to the right. Boom. So the accent is always to one side. Not left-right, so it’s not left-right, left-right. Don’t do that one. What you want to do is just keep it to one area. Bend your knees, arms in front of you. Get good fists in front of you, and you want to lift your hips to the right. Boom. They want to lift up, not just outward, but up. Boom. And to up. And to up. And to up.

My hips don’t lie, but DJ, I’m going to need you to drop the beat, so we can all do it. So, not exactly the tempo or the type of music that you would use at home.
