How is it going? My name is Chie Saito, I am a dancer and a choreographer teacher movement this is in San Diego, California. The movement we are going to learn today is body roll. So, I am going to break it down for you, four steps, you got to go head, chest, recline, and seat, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four.
So, head, chest, make sure you just go straight back. I do not want to go, straight back and then I recline to the point where I am like I am going to fall, and then just let go, and seat, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Let us try real quickly with the music. And ready, five, six, seven, eight, and we go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Good. So, I want you to practice that just those steps. Let us keep doing that over and over and nice and big and really extend. Go as far as you can. So if you will keep on doing that a bunch times you are going to smooth that edges. So, you are going to start blending it all together. You are going to go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, from the front five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and head, chest, recline and seat, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
So, let us try it a little bit smoother with the music. So, same as this, we did same counts we did before, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. If that is too fast for you just do it every other four counts, six, seven, eight, and wait, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. If you got that, just go continuous, six, seven, and eight.
If you notice what I am doing, I am leaning a little bit into it. When I lean into it gives me more room to travel back. You have to – if I just start here, you do not have anywhere to go. What I am going to do is scoop this, I need to scoop my head under, like I am donning under a bar. I can scoop with my chest. A little scooping motion okay?
So you go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, lean forward and seat. Now what I want you to try is I am going to do my left foot forward. First thing you need to do is, transfer your weight from your front to your back, and actually want to start back to front. So, have your weights on your back this is my right, I am just going to keep my knees bent and just push off. So I am going to weight on my right and then with my left and then I push back to the back.
So now, you are going to do it by your own, you are going to go when I push forward I am going to start, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two, three, four. So when you are at home a good way to practice is, get a mirror and just turn propelling. See if you are doing all the steps and doing it really full.
