what do i get tweets from you guys for, teach us how to do the foxes dance. Now, if you
don't know the foxes dance, you need to go check it out, it's this new video, the song
is crazy, it's about a fox, in the woods, i don't know. but anyway i wore my jungle
green pants today, inspired by the video. since i'm not in a jungle i figured bring
you as much as i could and we're gonna learn it step-by-step.
Now, in the video there's a lot of these kind of fox paw situation movements here. So you
can do as much fox'n as you want or I'm gonna also give you a little hip hop alternative
i'm gonna give you some fists, i'm gonna give you a little r kelly puff daddy shuffle step
groove kinda thing on some of the steps as well. So, you let me know what you want to
learn, I will bring you a tutorial. at Matt Steffanina , hit me up, let me know what else
you guys want to learn and subscribe to my channels. I have a dance channel, I have tutorial
channels so that we can keep dancing together and learning together. Ya'll ready, foxes,
let's get it
[what does the fox say] intro -
So your first step, you're walking on your right, you're going right, left, right left,
back, back then you're gonna jump out, 7. Now, our arms on this part, you have a couple
choices. If you're really feelin the fox, you wanna go full out, then BAM! Hands are
gonna stay right here, if you're say, in a club, maybe like uh let me groove this instead
I would recommend some fists and a little woo, yea?
So your hands don't move, so make sure you're not doing thriller, fox! 5,6,7 let's go, 1,2,3,4,
and back back jump out, whoom your arms go out to the diagonal and then boom, straight
behind. From here, make sure your knees are bent you're just gonna nod your head 3 times,
1,2,3, you're gonna jump up 4, feet come in a little bit but not all the way together.
You're gonna shrug your shoulders twice, this is 5,6, then you're gonna reach out with your
left hand, look at it, 7, and then you're gonna swing them across, boom! Fox hands,
8.
So the important thing with this dance, what actually makes it look really good in the
video is that the dancers are super clean and really full out even though they're doing
simple movements. So if you wanna do this say for your talent show, or with your friends,
make a youtube video, whatever... make sure you guys aren't going, 7, 8, and 1, and 2,
and every things kind of jumbled together, yea?
If you watch the video the dancers are like Boom! Ba! Boom Boom, they're like on tour
with Beyonce in the woods right now, that's how serious it is, yea. So make sure you dance
it like that. From the top, we go 5, 6, 7,8 we go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 whoom, ha! We go 1,
2, 3, whoom ha, ha, zoom ha!
So from here you have two choices. The first time he does bum bum bum bum bum bum bum,
he kinda hits it a little cleaner and the second time he does like a ciara dun dun dun
dun bump and grind kind of groove. So depending on which one you like better or if you wanna
be a boss and just do the whole song then first chorus sharper, second chorus smoother.
From here, you're doing the first chorus this goes 1 and 2 and 3,4, 5 and 6 and 7 and 8.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 5, on the six you're gonna go 6, and you're punching down, turning
your shoulders and then you're come to the front on 8.
then from here we're gonna step forward on this right foot you're gonna go 1 and 2 and
3 and 4. So this is like a reverse lawn mower, zoom and zoom that left arm is going down
and down and down and down. Then you're gonna pull it up, up and up and up and ha! On that
last one your right arm shoots up then one more time down and down and down and down
then you jump together whoom, back to the fox, then you jump out whoom.
Alright from here, last part just shake your hips to the right, you're going hip and 2
and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8. Whoo whole 8 count, beyonce, here we go. Then from
here you're going 1, hands go on your shoulders, you're gonna roll your head around around
then you're just gonna step across and go out then you're gonna go to your back. And
that's it! That was the first part, now, second chorus is a little bit different.
Let's try the first chorus from the very top, we go 5, 6, 7, 8, it's a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8 and a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, whoom, ha. bum bum bum bum bum bum buh, buh buh buh buh buh
buh. 1 and 2 and 3 , 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8. 1 and 2 and 3, 4, 5 and 6 and 7, ha. 1, and 2, and
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ha. buh buh buh buh buh buh buh 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, whoom, ha!
Oh man, that's intense. Now just in case you're a baller, you're like you know what I'm gonna
do the whole song, 1st chorus and 2nd chorus, so I'm going to need to know all the steps,
the second chorus just changes a little bit. just like we talked about, from here, you
got the smooth hips instead of the ra ta ta ta ta ta so you smooth it out, this is all
the same, 5, still do the 6, 7, 8. Second chorus, instead of doing the down down down,
up up up you got this little seizure shake shimmy kind of move. You're just gonna step
on your right foot you're gonna go do do do do do doom do do. Then come up whoom! then
you're gonna do it again, bu du du du bu du du, then come up heh! one more time, bu du
du du du du du, up! Now, important note, if you're the lead, if you're the all-star in
this piece in this performance you gotta watch the video to get the exact technique, but
it's an uh, kind of an experimental dance move. He kinda... so i don't know the exact
technique, but basically you're swatting bee's, swatting bee's, back up. That's the general
idea of it. From your last shake shake shake shake shake up, you're just jumping out, ha,
ha then from here last move, your arms are by your side you swing around 1,2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, then you do it again a little faster, 1, 2,3 4, hold he says 'what the' then you
go ' fox say' you can do it any direction they kinda close in towards him.
Alright now that you got it down go ahead and check out their video, try it with the
music, get dressed up, i don't know, whatever ya'll wanna do. Make sure you subscribe to
