{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
That's the one handed Russian.
[[dancing noise]]
[00:16:17]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
And no hands.
[[Cross Talk]]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
No hands.
[[clapping]]
[00:16:18]

[[clapping]]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
That's called the Russian.
[00:16:20]

[[clapping]]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
So there what we have right away, we're beginning to see three strands.
[00:16:29]{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}

We've got the social dance. We have a little bit of acrobatics with a sky whip.
[00:16:35]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
We've got some ethnic dance. There are a lot of other forms, but one of the major one is probably gymnastics.
[00:16:41]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Have you all done any training in gymnastics, and how did that become part of the dance movements that you do?
[00:16:47]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Really, from watching people. We never learned from nobody,
[00:16:51]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
but my cousin, to be truthful, and the people that taught us the cha-cha.
[00:16:55]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
That was the only two people we ever learned from. Everything else, we made up on our own and learned on our own,
[00:17:00]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
like tumbling. Show them the backhand walkover really quick. The back walkover.
[[Move demonstrated]]
[00:17:10]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
That's something we learned on our own. The back walkover.[00:17:18]
[[Clapping]]
[00:17:19]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
So simple. [[laughing]]
[00:17:22]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Real simple.
[00:17:25]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Another thing I like to show you is called the hand flip. My two li'l cousins gonna show you.
[00:17:30]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
We made this up ourself, too, and a lot of people around the world copied this as they seen us doing this.
[00:17:38]

[[Move being demonstrated]]
[[clapping]]
[00:17:43]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And we got one more thing it's called the foot pull-up. We're gonna show you that one, too.
[00:17:49]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
We made all this up ourself. The foot pull-up; this was before poppin', or anything ever got created out here.
[[Movement being demonstrated]]
[00:17:58]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
[[clapping]] Yeah.
[00:18:01]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Now, it's important to emphasize that what we're doing here on the stage
[00:18:05]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
is breaking down the dance moves.
[00:18:07]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Things that look acrobatic here, but may look slow
[00:18:10]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
when you put them in the context of a larger sequence of dance moves,
[00:18:14]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
and you set them to the rhythm of the drum, which the disco Queens and Kings play with them at all times when they're performing,
[00:18:21]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
they take on a whole new sense. It's always putting the moves in sequence that gives them their real special nature.
[00:18:29]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Now there's some other acrobatics moves that you all do. One of them is, uh, I think you call it the donkey kick.
[00:18:33]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Yeah, I could show you that one myself. The donkey kick rollover.
[[Movement demonstrated]]
[00:18:39]
