(upbeat marching band funk music)
-: Hello everybody.
This is Flow Funk once again from the Massive Monkees.
Today we're gonna work on some other moves.
First move is going to be a side-step, all right?
Second move is going to be a drop.
That drop is gonna be a knee drop.
Next move is going to be the footwork moves,
then we're gonna learn CCs today.
And then the last move is going to be a freeze,
and we'll be working on a pike freeze.
So same thing.
We're gonna do top rock,
drop, footwork and freeze.
Top rock, here we go.
This is a side-step.
And this side-step can be done a couple
of different ways as well, all right?
So but from here, we are gonna work this
with our feet together in the beginning,
and we're gonna step out,
together.
Going back, step out, with the other leg,
together.
It goes out together.
Out together.
If this is our starting point,
let's try it again.
It's gonna go one, two,
one, two,
and one, two, all right?
So a little faster.
It looks like this.
It goes one, two, one, two,
one, two, one, two.
You don't have to do it straight up, just like this,
all robotic and stuff.
You can have a little bit of a bounce,
a little bit of a rock.
So that's why these moves are called top rocks.
'Cause you gotta have this rocking motion, okay?
All right so from here, it looks like this,
it goes one, two, one, two, one, two,
you can also add in a little hop.
So it goes hop, hop, hop, hop.
So from here, let's try it out again.
This time, we're gonna add in some hand motions.
So our hands aren't just gonna be down the entire time.
First one we're gonna do is a clap.
Whenever your feet are together,
your hands come together as well.
So from here, it's gonna go out, together,
out, together.
One, two, one, two,
so a little faster.
Here we go.
When I say five, six, seven, eight,
that means ready, set, go.
Five, six, seven, eight,
one, two, one, two, one, two,
one, two, one, two, one, two.
And you can just do this while listening to music,
if you're just waiting on the side getting ready to dance.
It's a simple two step, but not in the two step top rock.
All right, let's try this again.
Ready?
We're gonna do one eight count of this motion.
Five, six, seven, eight,
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
And that's it.
Now we're gonna try out a different hand motion.
This one's gonna be a pull.
So this side-step is also called a pull step.
'Cause what we're gonna do is we're gonna pull
that direction for the first one, okay?
Feet will step out,
grab across your body,
from here we're gonna pull.
(grunting) Pull.
And our foot slides in.
Other side.
Step out, grab and pull.
Try that again.
One, pull two.
Step one, pull two.
Remember you're pulling in that direction.
Pull.
If it helps to look which way you're pulling,
look that way.
But if you want to keep it all forward, you can.
So this is what it looks like a little faster.
It goes one, two,
one, two.
Like I said, you can add in that hop if you want.
So now, I'm gonna put both of those together.
It's gonna be the clap, and then the pull.
Here we go.
Five, six, seven, eight,
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Here we go.
Let's try that one more time,
and then we're gonna try it with music.
All right, here we go.
Get ready.
Arms are crossed going into the bboy or bgirl stance
just like this, or you can go here if you like.
All right, here we go.
Five, six, seven, eight,
go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
All right.
You guys ready to try it to music?
Say yeah!
I didn't even hear you.
Say yeah!
All right, here we go.
Let's try it to music.
Show me you're ready.
(slow hip-hop music)
Bboy stance.
Bgirl stance.
Ready, here we go.
Five, six,
five, six, seven, eight,
go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
and freeze.
All right.
You got that?
Try it on your own.
I'll count it out for you.
Ready?
Five, six, seven, eight,
go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, pull.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
and freeze.
Hmm.
All right, let's try it again.
With me this time, ready?
Arms are crossed.
Here we go.
Bob your heads.
Show me you're ready.
Five, six,
five, six, seven, eight,
go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, pull.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
and freeze.
Okay.
Ready to move on?
Here we go.
We're gonna try out the drop.
So this drop might get a little confusing for you,
but we're gonna break it down.
Let me show you what it looks like first.
So from here it goes...
All right.
So from there, it's a knee drop.
I'll show you one more time,
and then I'm gonna give you a second
just to try it on your own.
Ready?
So from here, it goes out,
drop.
You're not really dropping onto your knee at this point.
You're dropping to your hands.
Your hands go out to guide you down, okay?
All right, so from here, let's try that again.
Slowly I'm gonna break it down into four different moves.
So from here, it goes one,
foot goes out.
That's the first move.
Foot goes out,
hop back to the other foot.
Here we go.
One jump, two, hands will go out three,
and from here you're gonna make the number four
with your legs.
If you see it right there.
I create a number four with my legs.
Actually I think this move has five.
So from here,
it goes one,
jump two, hands go out three,
from here make the number four,
and with this, you're gonna hit the back of your knee,
and it's gonna bend.
So I'll show you this way.
It goes one, two,
three, number four,
hit the back of your knee so it buckles.
It's gonna bend down, and you're gonna guide yourself down
to the floor.
Let's try that facing forward.
Here we go.
So from here, same thing.
One, two,
three, four,
down five.
Remember how I said your hands will guide you down?
Leave your hands in front.
That's why we put that out there on the number three
because it's gonna guide you down to the floor.
You don't wanna smash your knee into the ground.
It's gonna hurt.
All right, so from here, let's try that again.
Same thing.
Just the knee drop.
Ready?
Five, six,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three,
four, down five.
Guide yourself down.
All right.
And then from there, we're already down to the ground,
so we can start working on those floor moves.
But let's try it one more time.
From here, we're gonna do it with the top rocks, okay?
Ready?
Both top rocks.
We're gonna do the clap, side-step
an the pull, step.
Here we go.
Five, six,
five, six, seven, eight.
One...
(claps)
(claps) Pull.
One.
(slow hip-hop music)
And from here, one, two,
three, four, drop five.
All right.
Let's do it a little faster this time
with the music.
Five, six, seven, eight,
clap one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Pull one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
down five.
From here, we're gonna work on what's called a CC.
From this position we're gonna go into our neutral position
once again.
So from here,
this is the beginning position for most of the footwork.
It looks like this.
Here's what a CC is.
Foot goes out in front...
Switch.
(slow hip-hop music)
Okay?
Try it out on your own.
Not even gonna break it down for you yet.
Try that out.
(slow hip-hop music)
All right, from here,
let's try it together.
Broken down.
Different steps.
Foot goes out.
It's gonna go one.
From here, whatever foot is out,
that's the direction your hands are gonna go, okay?
Both hands will come to the side.
So from here, it goes,
neutral position, one,
down two, lift up.
Watch my toe.
It's gonna go from my heel to my toe.
My back foot is gonna lift up
and come right back down.
So it goes
one, two,
three, four.
All right.
Then we're gonna switch sides.
Switch.
Here, both hands down,
onto my toe, lift up,
back down, back into neutral position.
Same thing.
Let's do it a little bit faster this time.
We're gonna go one side,
switch to the other side.
Here we go.
One, two, three,
four, switch.
One, two, three, four,
bring it back.
Try it on your own, or do it with me.
(slow hip-hop music)
All right.
Four times.
That's how many times we're gonna do it along
with everything else.
So we're gonna go top rock,
knee drop, four CCs.
From the beginning.
Here we go.
Five, six,
five, six, seven, clap.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. (clap)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, down, CC.
One,
two,
three,
four,
and freeze.
'Cause now we're gonna work on our freeze.
Last freeze.
This move is going to be a pike freeze.
Okay remember, practice these moves over and over, okay?
'Cause this is a tough one.
But I think you can do it.
Here we go.
I'll show you what it looks like first.
It's gonna go from our CC,
our last CC move that we just did, okay?
We're gonna go, come back in,
feet out, sit, okay?
Last CC out.
Come back in.
Hand goes down, kinda like a kick out,
but we're gonna bring both feet forward,
kick out and sit.
From here, we're gonna bring this elbow,
elbow into our stomach, boom, right there.
We're gonna rest our body on this wrist right here.
Show you what it looks like first.
So it goes out, down, in and turn.
Okay, try it out on your own.
Not even gonna show you what it looks like yet.
(slow hip-hop music)
Okay.
Ready to try it together?
Here we go.
From this position, down,
kick out, sit, elbow in,
this elbow goes into your stomach, right there.
This hand comes to the back.
We're gonna turn over onto this hand.
Turn over and freeze.
Let's try it from the beginning.
Here we go.
From the top.
We're gonna do that clap, pull,
knee drop and CCs
to the pike freeze.
Let's try it a couple times.
Here we go.
Let's get that music going.
Here we go.
Get ready.
Show me you're ready.
Five, six,
five, six, seven, clap.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
From here...
(slow hip-hop music)
And CC.
One,
two,
three,
four, kick out, down,
elbow into your stomach, hand goes down to the back.
My feet are gonna go up onto my toes,
kinda like a push up position,
elbow in my stomach,
head down to the ground, hand out here, okay?
All right.
Try it a couple times on your own.
So this is what the move looks like if I'm
just standing here.
If I'm doing a pike freeze, elbow in, feet are together,
head is down on the ground,
my other hand is up here.
So this same position is what it looks like
on the ground.
Okay?
All right.
Let's try it together.
This time, with a different song.
We're gonna move a little bit faster,
so you can see what it looks like at a different speed.
(energetic trumpet music)
Fix yourself.
Make sure you look good.
All right.
Here we go.
'Cause in hip-hop,
that's what it's all about.
Here we go.
(bouncy hip-hop)
Bob your heads.
Make sure you feel that music.
All right.
Here we go.
Five, six,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, pull.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, down, CC, go.
One, two,
three, four.
From here, out, down, elbow in,
turn and freeze.
All right, you try it.
I'll count you through it, ready?
Five, six,
five, six, seven, clap.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, pull.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Down,
drop.
CCs, go one turn,
two turn,
three turn,
four turn,
and from here, elbow in, hand goes back,
turn and freeze.
All right.
Try that out.
Practice on your own.
Practice at home.
If you can, do it everyday.
All right.
Once again, my name is Flow Funk from the Massive Monkees.
I'll see you next time.
