Hey, what's up, y'all? This is Arn Star. You're rocking with Blazer Fresh. Got my boy, Xavier, and my boy, Rasheem. What's up, man? Get that right. So we going to make it happen. Y'all ready, world? We got some dance moves for y'all. This is from a dance style called lite feet, which is born in Harlem, just like me. All right, so we're going to start off with a popular dance called the original "Harlem Shake." So get your shoulders ready and let's do it. So we're going to start with the first moves. It's more upper body movement. So we're going to do like a scoop likeness with the arm and throw our shoulder up. And this man, like this. Boom, boom, boom, boom. All right. So we're going to try it again. You guys ready? Want to do it again? Got it. OK. So we, scoop, boom. Scoop, boom. Scoop, shoulder. Scoop, shoulder. All right. So you're probably wondering what you want to do with your legs. You're going to move your feet in a marching-like manner. So it's going to be a, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. That's just for the feet. Remember what I said about the shoulders? So it's 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. All right, now we're going to put it together. We're going to move the shoulder, we're going to do the scoop and the step all in one motion. You guys ready? Let's do it. Let's do it. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Tone to the tone to tone to Tone Wop. Yeah. [LAUGHS] All right, so this is another simple, basic step that you can really liven up. So what we're going to do is, we're going to start with our feet movement. We're just going to do a-- step, twist, back. All right? So it's a-- step, twist, back. So in a more faster motion, it's like this-- step, twist, step, twist, step, twist, step, twist, step, twist, step, twist, step, twist, step, twist. All right? Now that's the bottom motion. Top motion-- when you twist, you're going to bring your arms out and bring it in for a snap. [SNAPS] Arms out, and bring it in for a snap. [SNAP] Arms out, and bring it in for a snap.

And so Brooklyn brought this great dance move called the Milly Rock. And so now it's incorporated into the movement, and this is how it goes. It's another scoop-like movement. But this time, it's a little bit more simpler, and you're just going to move your body with a scoop. So we scoop. Then we move our body. We scoop, and then we move our body.
