One Vertebra at a time to nice, tall, straight back. Great. All right, the arm frog. You're going to stand in front and I'll just keep that pad there and now you're going to reach the arms straight out in front of you. Now, how I learned it is not to rise up. First I learned just to do a regular PA, so pa would be a knee bend, so you're going to bend the knees. Nice and hands will come on and you can sit down more. Good. Now what you're going to do is you're going to squeeze the bottom.

Now you think of press down, but you can't. You have to lift your hips up to lift your feet up. So lift up off of my fingers. That's it. And then roll the spine all the way down. Keeping that pedal still. Now let's reverse it. Lift the hips up.

And this one, I have to say I like better for tolerant people, but let's give it to you.

Let's do the uh, horseback. So there's two different ways to get on. Hopefully I'm not going to embarrass myself right now. You can go ahead and swing around a hand, hand lower down into position like that. Or you can come from the back when you're more advanced. Lift and then lower down. Okay.

Your choice I think is she's gone before. It's a little sloppy over there, right? I haven't slept myself. That would've been great for the bloopers now. Nice straight legs.

Ease that up. All right, so let's do the side balance control. And then what we're going to do is I'm going to throw in Ron [inaudible] with it, and then I'm going to throw in the side mountain climb. All right, so we're going to do a little bit of a Combo. So you'll stand here. You're going to bring your arm here, you're going to press down, and then you're going to step up onto the chair to get down. You're going to do the same thing. Press down. Ease that up. Okay. Yes. So push that down.

Cool. Oh no wonder lived up for a second. I'm going to make this a little lighter pit there now. So I had to do one top on bottom, but it wasn't really one top and bottom. Press down there should be a little easier. Now step up, which actually means the other stuff was a little bit too easy for you. And now what you're going to do is bring this arm here and you're going to rise up, hold there and lower all the way down. Let's drop in this hip here.

Rise up to lower down to rise up. Three hold there. I want you to bring your, uh, I'll go into elevate on that foot. Turn out the leg now. Cross the arms.

Rotate the leg to parallel. Lower the heel. Open that nice lowly, lower, step this leg back and ease that up. That's okay. All right, so we're gonna do a couple more. This is something that Romanies to give to me a lot. As a dancer, we're going to do the pull up with the on cloth. So having front side, back side, and the motor to do front. So take your pull up position. Now might be a little bit harder because we're on the correct sprain.

So what you're gonna do is you're going to bring your right leg back into arabesque. Good. Now I'm going to help you here. You're going to rise up. Now you're going to lower down and then you're gonna let your left heel drop Paul Shea, and then go up and to elevate. Rise up to lower down to Paul. Say you can bring your whole elbow down if you'd like. Yes. And now rise up three.

You're going to do the star to Adam with because you are doing a great job. So the star can be one top, one bottom, or it could be two middle or one top, one middle. I'm going to make it a little easier since you've done a lot of work today and we're going to put one top, one middle, cause that's going to give you the most lift. All right, so you're going to bring your hands on here. Press the pedal down and just watch out for one sec and I'm going to lift the leg up to the side. All right? Yeah.

All right. It's a press down that hands right in the middle. Bring your right foot just a little bit forward. Yes. Now lift the leg up to the side. Now. I want you to tighten here. Tight in here. Long here. Now rise up, pull there. Bring your popo forward more and lower down. One.

Rise to lower, down to rise. Three lower down three. Now turn face the other side. So lift this leg here. Close this and arise up and lower one front of the hips. Nice and long. Rise up to lower to rise up.

Three lower three. Not Bring your foot down. Bring both hands on and then running. Run One, one, two, two. Drop the head. Pull up into my hand. Five, six, six, seven, seven, eight, eight, nine, nine, 10, 10. Step one foot under the floor. Ease that up. Bring the other foot down. Roll up through your spine. Open the arms up to the SA, tout to the side. Shoulders up to the ears. Release, and you are done for today. Thank you. Good work.

great. really impressive young lady and beautiful form. Brett your cues are wonderful, love the precision
Terrific cueing. Great flow combining various exercises. I am not flexible so some of the pull up combos may never look like Gia's. . . but I can aim for that!
