{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Yeah we started out around in West Philly round 50th and Augner street teaching other kids
[00:37:36]
how to dance and they practice every day and got better and better and so they just came to me
[00:37:42]
one day and they said I'm good enough to get with y'all now, so I gave him a test,
[00:37:47]
tested 'em out, and they was good enough, and we put a couple people that wasn't in our family
[00:37:52]

[00:38:46]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Any questions? Yes, sir.

(inaudible)

[00:38:55]
The question was, how do you go about tying the various moves together to create the fuller dance sequence?

[00:39:03]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
As a routine you need two, not really, but two together to make a good step. And make more
[00:39:09]
people look, 'cause they see two flippin' each other or one on each of your legs. I'm gonna show y'all what I mean.
[00:39:29]
That's what I mean. There's always...
