What up y'all, my name is Tweet Boogie. I represent the South Bronx. Had my first hip
hop crew at fourteen. 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. 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. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Now, we're gonna try it
fast, one good time. Five, six, seven, eight. And one, and two. Did you fall? I didn't fall.
Six, seven, eight. And one, and two. There you have it. It's the T shuffle y'all.
