(upbeat music)
- Hey, what's up, it's
your girl Comfort Fedoke.
and you may remember me from,
"So You Think You Can Dance."
Now, the American Hart Association
and the American Dance
Movement has joined forces
to bring dance to you.
And I couldn't be more excited
to get you up and dancing today.
Now, the Kids Heart Challenge
and the American Heart Challenge
are all about doing
good while feeling good
and having a little fun at the same time.
Now we're going to raise heart rates,
raise money and save lives.
Now whether you are at home or at school,
it's always good to have at least one hour
of physical activity each day.
And what better way to
do it than by dancing,
you don't have to be a trained dancer.
You just gotta get that
body up and moving.
Are you ready?
I am, let's go.
All right, so today
we're going to be dancing
to Katy Perry's track "Daisies."
And of course I have my amazing
assistant Gbari Gilliam.
All right, so during the
warmup, think of me as a mirror.
So if I go this way, go that way.
If I go this way, go that way.
If I go up that way, go that way.
If I go down and go down
that way, all right?
Are you ready?
Let's get warmed up.
Here we go (claps).
Ready?
(mumbles)
Five, six, here we go.
Five six seven eight, back,
snap, forward, snap, right left
down, circle, all right.
Well now we're gonna do,
little jumping jack, okay?
Five six seven eight.
Forward, out, two, now
one, nice, chest, back
chest, up, back, now go
forward, forward, side, back,
side, there we go, forward,
side, you're into it.
Yeah now circle, forward, yeah.
Two more, hey yeah, down, shoulder
shoulder, down, turn, turn, side, again,
turn, back to the middle, stretch up.
Yes, now bring those feet
in, stay there, pull up.
All right, groove it up.
Crisscross here we go.
(laughs) Have fun y'all.
Hey, (mumbles), here we go.
Hey, oh we bounce it, have fun.
Oh yeah (screams).
(laughs)
All right, I'm warm, Gbari are you warm?
All right so you guys have to be warm.
So let's get into this routine.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
(upbeat music)
All right, now it's time to
start The Challenge Routine.
So before we start, Gbari
is going to face the back
so you can follow him exactly.
So here's the example.
So I go, right, my right arm
is up, his right arm is up
so you can follow him
exactly with your eye line
and then you can follow me with detail.
Is that good?
All right, are you guys ready?
Let's get it started.
Okay, so the first part, you're
gonna start with bounces.
You're going to put that right foot out,
you're gonna go one and two.
You wanna make sure you're bouncing those.
Now your arms are going to go on a circle,
clockwise three, push away four
as you step with your left.
Okay, now from here, you're
going to turn around the circle
while going right arm, left
arm, right foot comes up
and now you pull back (mumbles) your body
and put your hands down to
your feet and that's eight.
So again, we're going one, two, three,
push four, go five and six, seven, eight.
Wanna bring up one idea.
So after we come from
one, two, three, four,
if it is too hard to go
around in the circle,
you can also just stand up and say five in
so bring that right arm up five in.
Now bring that right foot up
six and you now stay in place
seven, eight.
So until you build up
with maybe being able
to go in a full circle,
then you can just be here
after your Heisman move, you can just go
five and six, seven, eight.
Now from here on this eight,
your hands comes down to your feet, yes.
And my right foot is on its heel.
So now this next move, count of eight,
you're going to swipe that right foot back
like you're trying to get
some gum off of the bottom
of your shoe, but you're
gonna go right left.
So swipe both of them and
jump up at the same time.
So we're gonna go right left stop.
Now as I do this move,
my arms are going around
in the circular motion
just like my feet are going up and down.
So again from here, five, six,
seven, swipe it right left.
Yes, so from here now you're
going to take that right foot
and you're gonna bring it
around and take your right arm
and trace it on your knee
and place it in front of your left.
Now from here, you're going to swipe back.
I'm gonna swipe move,
it's like a swipe bounce
that's happening.
So right arm, same leg,
right leg swipes back
three, four, roll that arm around, five
look at it on six, last to the eight,
we go arm left arm seven look at it.
Bring both arms to your
shoulder as you look down
and step out and, and now all
you do is lift up on eight.
Yes, how are we feeling?
Feeling good?
That's the quickest part.
So let's put it back
from the top with counts,
starting on seven, eight,
here we go, slow, I got you.
Five, six, we go seven, eight.
This is one, two, three,
and four, we pull five, six,
we jump up seven and eight.
We go one, two swipe back
three, four, five, six
left hand seven and eight.
All right, how you guys feeling?
Can we do a little bit faster?
And then we'll try it
with the music, I got you.
You're in good hands.
Here we go, start on seven eight.
Five, six, seven, eight,
one, two, three and four
five, six, seven, eight.
We go one, two, swipe
three, four, five, six,
look seven and eight.
(sighs) how'd you do?
Music, let's get music, we're
good, we're good, we're good.
Let's do music.
♪ I'm the small town ♪
♪ One in seven billion ♪
One two three four five six seven eight
♪ They told me I was out there ♪
♪ Tried to knock me down ♪
♪ Took those sticks and stones ♪
(background music drowns out speaker)
♪ They tell me that I'm crazy ♪
All right, that was
the end of section one.
It was a little fast, but it's okay.
We'll come back to it after section two.
(upbeat music)
All right, guys, so now we're
at the top of section two.
So on top of section two, we
were here with our shoulders,
both hands on our shoulders.
So you wanna start that one
count and you're going to bounce
first you're gonna
bounce with their knees.
And then you're gonna bring
your arms out like this
in a circular motion.
So you're gonna go one, two.
Yes, so you take your arms
away from your shoulders.
So one more time from your shoulders,
five, six, seven, eight, we go one two.
Now you bring your head
to your hand, three, four,
all the way to the other (mumbles).
And as you're doing that,
you're stepping right left.
So again, after we do our
circular scoop, we step right
scoop it around to your left.
Now you're going to step
again with your right,
put your left hand on your
hip right arm and finger
goes aah hah (laughs).
If you wanna say aah
hah, it makes it better.
Aah hah, now you step again with your left
and bring your right
arm to your left chest.
Yes, so after you do this and this again,
you're stepping right left, right left.
So now we're on our left foot
and my right arm is on my heart.
And so now I step again with my left,
just a tad bit of a step to
the slight step to the left.
And you go down your body to your left.
Now you were going to do
a slow pose to the right
slow pose to the right, now your right arm
is on your right hip.
Now you go back to the
left, slow pose to the left
with your left shoulder up
sitting in that left hip.
And now you slope pose again to the right,
as you slide your left
in turning sideways.
Now you're gonna rock your body forward
right foot right then left.
And that is seven and eight.
So again five six, we
go rock seven and eight.
Yes, all right, let's
take that from the top
of that section, section
two, which starts here.
Slow, I got you.
So five, six, seven, eight.
We do our bounce around three,
four, five, six, down, hit
slow pose, slow pose to the
right slow pose to the left.
Slide it to the front and right and left.
Okay, all right.
So now let's combine section
one and section two together.
And remember section one
has the bounce and the swipe
in the beginning of it, okay.
Slow, it's gonna be good, here we go.
Five, six, on the seven eight
one two, three and four,
five, six, seven, eight, we
up one, two, swipe it three,
four, five, six, we say seven
and new part one two scoop it
three, four, aah hah five, six, seven
down eight swipe to the pose,
to the pose, to the pose.
Seven, eight.
How'd we do?
Okay, that felt okay, I
think that felt pretty good.
We can try to speed it up just
a tad bit, closer to tempo
and then we'll try with the music.
You guys got it, here we go.
One, two, three, four,
we go five, six, seven,
eight one two three and four
five six, seven, eight
we go one, two, swipe it
three four five, six,
seven and new part one,
two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, slow pose
slow pose, slow pose, seven, eight.
How are we feeling?
Feeling good?
As long as you guys remember
to keep your bounce
happening the whole time,
especially at the top of section two
really think about your bounce,
your bounce and your rock is
going to help you through this
entire routine.
If all goes wrong, keep
bouncing and rocking.
But let's try it now
with music, here we go.
♪ I'm the small town ♪
♪ One in seven billion ♪
One two three four five six.
♪ They told me I was out there ♪
♪ Tried to knock me down ♪
♪ Took those sticks and stones ♪
♪ Showed 'em I could build a house ♪
♪ They tell me that I'm crazy ♪
♪ But I'll never let 'em change me ♪
♪ 'Til they cover me in daisies ♪
♪ Daisies, daisies ♪
♪ They said I'm going nowhere ♪
♪ Tried to count me out ♪
(screams) That is section
one and two combined.
How are you guys feeling?
It's a little fast, but
again, you can try it slow
each time, don't feel
threatened by the speed
just keep bouncing and
grooving and rocking
and it will take you through
the rest of the dance, okay?
Are you ready for section three?
I think we are.
Okay, here we go.
All right, we are halfway
through the dance you guys.
You're doing it, I know
it's a little fast,
but that's why it's the
American Heart Challenge.
We wanna challenge you,
we wanna get your heart pumping
and racing, so it's good.
This is doing, your guys
are doing a great job.
Okay, so we just finished
section two with seven, eight.
Okay, so now you're going
to step with your right foot
and you're going to take
your hand like this.
I know you do it all the time.
You tell people to get out your face,
we're like go, that's
the hand you use, okay.
That right hand and you
take that right foot around
in the circle, slide, hey,
yes and you slide that left
around as you turn around,
going to the right side.
From here, you're going to row your boat
so you're gonna take both
hands to your left side,
row as you dig, really
dig into the ground, dig.
Now you dig with your
right, dig with your right
now you step with your left
and open up your jacket
and step back down.
Yes, from here when you step down,
you're going to hit the
lyrics, sticks and stones.
Your left foot comes out.
So again, after you open
up that life jacket,
after you rowed your boat,
you put that hand down
and it lands on sticks
and both hands come up.
Now you take both of them
on your side, left arm,
left foot comes out, stones.
Now you're gonna go on the bass.
So on stones, you're gonna
hear the bass in the song.
So that's what we're riding
the rest of this time.
So we're gonna go bass
now go to the left side
bass, so make sure you're
leaning on that left knee.
Now you're just gonna
drop down in both knees
bass, as you look both of your hands up,
and now you're gonna go to your right
and you're gonna hit
the woah on the second,
on the last bass, bass.
Nice, so this has a
little bit more rhythm,
a little bit more calm to it.
So you're gonna have fun with it.
So again, from the top
of that section slow,
so we ended with seven, eight.
Now, swipe it one two,
row your boat, row, row
open your jacket, drop it
down on sticks and stones
bass, bass, bass, bass.
Yes, make sure you hit
that reverb in that woah.
So that's the end of
section three simple, right?
You feel like you're in a better pocket.
You're getting there.
So let's do it again at section
three, a little bit faster,
a little bit to tempo.
And then we'll start all
the way from the top.
All right, here we go, so
we just said seven, eight
and one, two, row, row,
open, sticks and stone,
bass, bass, bass.
How are doing?
Good, okay.
So now let's take it back to
section one and section two,
put it all together with section three.
So remember section one had the bounce,
it had the swipe.
Section two, it had the scoop, right?
It had the aah hah, and
it had had the slow pose.
Yes, remember all of those things?
And then this new section, all right.
Are you guys ready?
Let's put it from the top,
here we go, on seven, eight.
Five, six, we go seven, eight.
This is one, two, three, and four.
Five, six, seven, eight, we
go one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven and eight.
We go one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
slow pose, slow pose, slow pose.
Seven, eight, seven new part, we go slide
and row, row, open jacket, sticks and stay
bass, bass, bass.
All right you guys, that was
section one, two and three.
How do you guys feel?
You feel okay?
You think we can do it one
more time with the music?
Music, let's try it with music.
I think music will make
everything feel way better.
All right, here we go.
One two, five, six.
♪ They told me I was out there ♪
♪ Tried to knock me down ♪
♪ Took those sticks and stones ♪
♪ Showed 'em I could build a house ♪
♪ They tell me that I'm crazy ♪

All right, that was section
one, two and three all together.
Again, you guys, this is also still film.
So you can rewind this.
If you guys need some more time
to get some of these moves,
go back and revisit
section one, section two,
section three, go at your own pace.
Feel comfortable, pun intended.
So you can feel good about the
dance as we continue, okay.
Are we ready for section four.
Final stretch, here's
the final stretch dance.
(upbeat music)
All right, let's get pumped
for this last section,
because this is actually
my favorite section,
because you do a rodeo dance.
I'm from Texas so had to
throw it in there, you know.
All right, so after you hit your woah
from the third section, yes.
Once you hit your woah, you're
going to step really relaxed,
really, really relaxed.
Step, right left out of
nowhere you're going to gallop
right left, right left.
Now when I'm galloping
my legs and my knees
are going right left, right left.
I'm putting all of my
weight on the right foot
and my foot are going
right left, right left.
Yes and my knees are going out
in out in my left hand is out
like I'm in a car or I'm holding the
or holding a horse or a bull,
whatever, figure it out.
Then your right arm is swinging
around in the circle, yes.
So again, after we hit our
woah, eight, we go one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
We do that twice seven, eight.
Now you're gonna step with your right
and you're going to cross
right over left on your chest.
You're gonna go, right.
Actually, sorry, left
over right on your chest.
And then you're going to
open up to the other side
and all your hand does is just unwind
and turn to the left side.
Now, from here, you're going
to turn back to the right
and you're going to way and
pull your right foot back
at the same time.
So again, after we hit our
rodeo, you pull out right.
Left over right, crossing
over, cross back, turn around,
hit your wave, swing
that right foot around.
Yap, now you waved here, now you're trying
to take this right hand and
you're going to bring it down
underneath the left.
Yes, so it's swims down.
So we continue that wave.
So that wave here, down here.
So now the right arm is underneath.
Yes, so all you have to do
is pull that right arm up,
along with your right foot.
Now you're gonna come and over
and you're going to act
like you've given something.
You've given them a daisy, a flower, okay?
So reverse that.
So again, we're here from our wave.
Yes, saw that reverse?
I know, so here, once you hit your wave,
take that right arm
put it behind that left
now, bring it back up
and present your arm out
with your right hand.
Last section from here,
you retract it back.
Pull it back, right arm, right leg.
Now you're gonna go
shoulder, both shoulders.
Now you're gonna just
take your left shoulder,
turn around and you say peace (laughs).
Yes, that was kinda trippy, wasn't it?
It was like we switched places.
Cool, do this with a partner.
Again, so let's take it back
from the top of section four slow.
Well we're here with
our woah, seven, eight,
we go one, two rodeo.
Three, four, rodeo, we
say hit, hit, wave it,
wave through, wave one arm, right arm.
Bring that right arm back
out, give, retract it back
shoulder left shoulder, tell them peace.
And you walk off.
You walk off like peace.
Yeah and that's the end.
(screams) You made it, you did that.
We helped but you did that.
We made it so now let's do it again,
section four a little bit faster, okay?
We got it, from our woah.
Six, seven, eight, we go
one, two, three, four.
We go rodeo, hit, hit,
wave it, wave in, give it
retract it, shoulder,
left shoulder, peace.
Yay, how are we guys doing?
We're okay.
So now we're going to put it together
from section one, section
two and section three
to section four, oh my goodness.
So let's remember.
So section one was
about the bounce, right?
The bounce and the swipes, okay.
Section two was all about like the scoop.
Yeah, it was about the scoop,
it was about the aah hah
aah hah, remember that, remember that?
And the slow dance, slow
poses, find your pose
find your pose, you can
give the Tyra Banks eyes.
Those help too.
Yeah, the second was the third section,
third section was all about,
oh, the row your boat,
row them, row the boats.
Third section was about rowing,
opening up that life jacket, bing,
it was all about the bass bass bass.
And then we hit our woah,
yes that was third section.
And then this last section is
about getting on that horse
and riding 'em, all right?
And then after that we hit our wave
and we hit the peace sign.
Okay guys, are you guys ready?
Let's put it together from the top, slow.
You ready?
We start on seven eight, here we go.
Five, six, seven, eight

We can try it a little bit faster
from the top of section one,
all the way to the ending.
That was my ending,

See, that's a good partner right there.
