-: Hello, Jeromeskee here
and welcome to the session.
Now, I'm gonna breakdown a simple beginner's,
intermediate Top Rock dance combo
into an Advanced Freeze,
yes an advanced freeze.
Now before I teach you that advanced freeze,
I will breakdown some simple basic exercises
to execute that advanced freeze.
Let's jump right into it, let's go.
Ready, so the Top Rock is gonna go
into your hands, behind your back,
and this is what we call the Walk Around,
very simple, it's the Walk Around.
One, two, three, four,
hands right here on your chest
and we're gonna go into a break to the right
and then break to the left.
One break to the right,
and one break to the left.
But we'll hop,
hop, hop, two small hops
to a break to the right.
Hop hop break to the left.
Now, every time I break,
I'm just gonna continue to look straight.
Hop, hop, break,
hop, hop, break.
Walk Around to the Hop Hop Break.
Five six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four.
Hop, hop break,
hop hop break,
Then from here, legs together,
and we're gonna do a simple Pull Step.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
We're gonna hit simple pauses.
Pause to side, slanted, shoulder drop, hands up,
You might say,
what do I do with my hands?
Just put your hands up like it's a field goal.
Again, hands up to the side,
and then slant to the left with the chin.
And then left knee, onto the floor.
Again, with me,
Walk Around, Pull Step, Pauses.
Six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
hop, hop break,
hop, hop break.
And one, two,
three, four, five,
six, seven, eight.
And to the side,
slant to the left, and down, and be nice on your knee.
With me, follow me,
five, six, five,
six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
hop, hop break,
pull step, pull step,
pull step, pull step
and hey, slant, and knees.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five and six, seven and eight.
Together pull, pull,
pull, pull,
hit, hit, hit.
Now, transition with the Footwork. We're gonna slow it down
so you can see the details with that Top Rock.
Ready, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
hop, hop, break,
hop, hop, break.
Together, so we'll go together,
one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Got it, very good.
So we got the Top Rock: Walk Around,
Pull Step, and Pauses.
Last time, then we'll get into the Freezes.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five and six, seven and eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
And pause, two,
pause, one, two, and down.
All right, now, Advanced Freezes,
here we go.
This freeze that I'm gonna show you,
you gotta make sure
that we're prepped and ready for it.
We're gonna try our very best
and I'm show you the fundamentals of this freeze
and then we're gonna jump right into it.
Again, this is Advanced Freeze, advanced freeze.
With me, this is the Plank, foundational freeze,
elbow connect here, left parallel
and we're not going on our face,
we're gonna slightly go on the side of our head.
Elbow, connect here,
this is called the Plank Freeze,
get comfortable with this, the Plank Freeze.
Now that's the simple foundation.
Once you get comfortable with that,
we're gonna elevate the Plank Freeze.
Yes, this is an advanced option,
here we go, same idea.
Now, watch the fingers,
instead of having your fingers go here,
we're gonna have them point towards your feet,
hand point towards your feet.
Therefore, now it's going to lock your elbow.
Again, good foundation with the Plank Freeze,
parallel on the side of your head.
Elbow locks, fingers towards,
this is the regular Plank,
now this the Elevated, okay?
Good, again, very important,
not have your face onto the floor,
keep your neck straight.
If you have your face on to the floor,
bad form and your neck is stressed out.
Up side your head, elevated,
hold, okay, good.
That's the Elevated Freeze.
Now, if you're comfortable with that,
again, this is advanced
if you're comfortable with that,
we're gonna cross our legs.
So we have Elevated Plank Freeze
and then we have the Chair Elevated Freeze.
It looks like this,
Plank Freeze first.
Step one, Elevated Plank
and legs cross,
there you go.
So you have the fundamental Plank Freeze
and then you have the Elevated Plank Freeze
and then he had the Elevated Chair Freeze, three freezes.
Now put it all together, ready.
Slow it down,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
hop, hop, break,
hop, hop, break.
And together two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
from here, pause, pause.
Take your time,
down, both knees onto the floor,
plank, one, two, three,
adjust, head, neck straight,
elevate one, two, three
and then cross.
One, two, three, okay.
Let's put it all together,
follow me, turn around,
I'm turning out for you to see
so you can follow my steps.
Slow it down, ready,
five six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
hop, hop, break,
hop, hop, break.
And one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, hold.
And take your time on these freezes,
it's not about the speed, but the form.
Hand down, up
and legs cross,
up and mix together.
Let's finish strong,
legs out, cross, freeze, good.
Three eight-counts of Top Rock
into three freezes,
Follow me one more time
and then we're gonna go with the music.
Good job. (Claps)
Again, this is advanced
so take your time with those freezes.
Do the Plank Freeze,
if you feel comfortable with this,
then you elevate to the Elevated {lank
and then into the cross elevate freeze.
Five, six,
five, six, seven.
Let's go one, two, three, four,
five and six, seven and eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, pause.
One, two, three, four,
hold, seven, eight,
and hold, three seconds,
one, two, three,
adjust hands, use your abs.
Hold two, three,
and cross two, three.
And slowly go down together,
up cross man
and hold your cool
B-Boy/B-Girl pose.
Alright, DJ, with me, let's go.
Now it's all about the music,
yes, we're doing moves
and we're doing a combination.
The music dictates the way we dance.
So groove, we're gonna bounce,
march with me.
And down, side, side.
Hey, again, march with me,
side to side.
On my count, five, six,
five, six, walk around.
One, two, three, four,
hop, hop, break,
hop, hop, break.
Pull step.
Pauses, let's go pause, two
down, slow it down.
And, plank freeze,
adjust the hand.
Up, one, two, three,
legs crossed if you want to, and cross.
Here we go,
follow me, down, side to side, hey.
And watch, learn the music.
Five, six, five,
six, seven, eight.
One, two,
pull step,
pause it, hey.
Pause, two
and take your time,
elevate, cross,
hold that.
And, together out.
(claps)
Here we go full-out,
just so you can see what it looks like full-out.
And five, six,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
All right, and since you guys produced such a good job,
I'm gonna throw in a bonus move,
one simple bonus forward move.
It's very easy and simple.
Rally down, kick out,
together, kick out.
So we're gonna do the Top Rock,
legs kicked out into the freeze.
Top rock, legs kicked out into a freeze.
Five, six, follow me.
One, two, three, four.
Hey, hey,

together, kick out, together.
Freeze,
