00:00If I got to get up in front of that council, then you are going to learn how to dance.
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:05And today, we're counting down our picks for the dance moves that demand agility, precision, strength, and loads of practice.
00:19Number 30, the Dirty Dancing Lift.
00:22If you've ever watched Dirty Dancing and thought, how hard could that lift really be?
00:36Well, you're not alone, but you're also in for a reality check.
00:41It might be the thing of pop culture dreams, but in reality, it's a test of nerves, timing, and trust
00:47that has sent countless hopefuls crashing down.
00:50Even Johnny and Baby don't get it straight away.
01:00The lifter needs unwavering stability, while the flyer has to launch with pinpoint accuracy and hold their core as everything
01:08hinges on it, which it kind of does.
01:10When it works, it looks stunning.
01:12Weightless, euphoric, unforgettable.
01:15When it doesn't, you'll have the bruises as proof that you tried.
01:18And go.
01:22Good.
01:23Good.
01:24Now hold the position.
01:25Hold it.
01:26Good.
01:26Don't break.
01:27Don't break.
01:28Ah!
01:29Number 29, Pin Drop.
01:32This move looks simple until your knees remind you otherwise.
01:35This is how you do a pin drop.
01:36Let's see if more of my friends know what it is.
01:39Pin drop.
01:42Oh, is that this one where you're like...
01:43Dancers have to drop fast, absorb impact safely, and spring back up without breaking the flow.
01:49That means strength, coordination, and serious body awareness all working at once, especially as gravity isn't really on your side.
01:57Lock that in, and then go down.
02:00Boom.
02:00Good.
02:01From here, you can hold your hands.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Fall on your hands.
02:04Push back up.
02:05The hardest part is making the downward move look sharp instead of painful, because the best versions hit the ground
02:11with musical precision,
02:12and then rebound like the dancer barely felt it.
02:15Done properly, it creates a dramatic snap in the choreography.
02:19Done badly, it turns into an awkward stumble and a very real reminder that floors are not forgiving.
02:25See my toe right here has to land on the floor before the knee does so that I don't injure
02:31myself.
02:32So I do recommend the first couple times having a mat or something to catch yourself.
02:36Number 28, Zapateado.
02:39There is a reason this footwork-heavy style earns respect in any room.
02:43Zapateado is all about rapid, intricate strikes of the feet, and the challenge is keeping speed without losing clarity.
03:00Every sound has to be crisp.
03:02Every step has to be controlled.
03:03And the upper body still needs to look calm and composed.
03:07That's harder than it sounds, because the feet are basically doing a high-speed conversation while the rest of the
03:12body stays elegant.
03:21When it's executed well, the rhythm feels razor-sharp and almost hypnotic.
03:25Since your shoes are part of the percussion, there's nowhere to hide mistakes,
03:30which is perfect if you've ever wanted your errors broadcast loudly.
03:41Number 27, Voguing Dips.
03:44Voguing Dips are the ultimate test of drama and daring,
03:48a signature move that separates the legends from the wannabes.
03:57These gravity-defying drops demand a cocktail of balance, flexibility, and laser-sharp control,
04:03because the goal is to sink low and snap back up without so much as a wobble.
04:07Done well, it's bold, stylish, and just a little bit rebellious,
04:11like the laws of physics took a coffee break.
04:13And that knee, have it in a comfortable position.
04:16Bring that ass to the ground, baby, and make sure it's there.
04:19Point your toe, and also your hands for safety.
04:22Land back, and also arch that back, baby.
04:25You get a good dip in there.
04:27Boom!
04:28The secret sauce is confidence.
04:30Commit to the move, and you're iconic.
04:33Hesitate for even a second, and you risk going from fierce to fiasco.
04:37In the world of Voguing, dips are where you earn your stripes, and the crowd knows it.
04:49Number 26, Moonwalk.
04:52The Moonwalk has become a pop culture rite of passage,
04:56immortalized by Michael Jackson's gravity-defying glide across the stage.
05:04What makes it so legendary, and so maddeningly difficult to master,
05:09is its total rebellion against how our bodies want to move.
05:12Your instincts scream to push off and step back,
05:15but the Moonwalk demands you to do the opposite.
05:18Anchor your weight on the ball of one foot while the other floats backward.
05:21First you want to put one foot up.
05:23Okay, one foot up.
05:24And then you want to slide the one that's not up back.
05:27Okay.
05:27But while that one's still up, you want to switch it.
05:30Uh-huh.
05:31But keep it where they are.
05:32Got you, yeah.
05:32And then you slide this one back.
05:34Ooh, the tiniest miscalculation, a hint of pressure on the wrong foot, and the spell is broken.
05:39It's a move that rewires your sense of balance and rewards hours of obsessive practice with a moment of pure,
05:46crowd-pleasing wonder.
05:47Yeah, in the pink again, headed for the brink of you, taking a chance on the road.
05:57Number 25.
05:59Fleckle.
06:00If you've ever watched a Viennese waltz and marveled at the dizzying, tornado-in-place moment,
06:05that's the infamous Fleckle in action.
06:07On a lonely day, it's not over.
06:15The Fleckle is a relentless test of stamina, precision, and partnership.
06:20Every rotation is a spotlight moment, demanding you spin like a top while your feet barely leave the floor.
06:26The biggest challenge is staying locked in a stationary whirlwind,
06:29fighting centrifugal force with nothing but sheer core strength and laser-focused teamwork.
06:34You can do a Fleckle both ways.
06:36You can do a reverse Fleckle, which is normally how it starts, and then you can do a natural Fleckle.
06:40What separates them both is a contra-check, which is that sudden movement that you see in between.
06:46One misstep, and the illusion shatters.
06:49Forget the sweeping, cinematic glides of other waltz figures.
06:52Here, it's all about micro-movements, pinpoint precision timing,
06:56and a frame so solid it could withstand a hurricane.
06:59Cause sometimes I look in the rise, and that's where I find a glimpse of art.
07:07Number 24. Amikahela.
07:10The Amikahela asks for complete body control while still looking calm and graceful.
07:24The hips pulse in a hypnotic rhythm, while the upper body stays statuesque, expressive, and composed,
07:31as if it has no idea the rest of the body is working that hard.
07:34That kind of isolation is a serious test,
07:37especially when you're holding a deep, bent knee stance that would make Arnie's creak in protest.
07:42Lower your foot, toe, heel, and lift your hip.
07:45Repeat with your left foot and hip.
07:48Sway right, then left, right again, and then left again.
07:52Every weight shift has to be precise, every movement seamless, so the flow never breaks.
07:57It can look mesmerizing, smooth, grounded, and almost meditative.
08:02The real trick is making all that muscle work vanish beneath a mask of serenity,
08:06leaving the audience in awe.
08:08What they had done was what has always been done on these islands,
08:13honoring a people and a place in ways that thankfully today now appear to be timeless.
08:22Number 23. Stationary Lift and Drops.
08:26This belly dancing move asks you to rely on precise muscular isolation,
08:30which is often a new, challenging skill for most dancers.
08:40Instead of using entire muscle groups,
08:43you must engage very specific core muscles like the obliques,
08:46without involving the glutes or shoulders.
08:49Holding a bent knee posture while keeping your upper body loose
08:52feels completely counterintuitive.
08:54And learning this technique takes slow, focused practice to rewire muscle control.
08:59Focus on lifting one hip at a time by straightening one knee at a time.
09:02So as you straighten the right knee, the right hip will come up,
09:05and it's going to shoot straight up into your body.
09:07So you want to think about meeting your hip bone up to the rib cage,
09:12coming back down to center.
09:13When finally mastered, it looks effortless and fluid,
09:17adding dramatically controlled pauses, sharp accents,
09:20and sophisticated flair to your performances.
09:22This foundational movement truly defines the beauty of the dance,
09:26and getting it right feels oh so satisfying.
09:43It's all about technique and strength.
09:46It's something that we all keep on working towards.
09:49You can just never, ever be strong enough.
09:51Standing on the very tips of your toes might seem ethereal to the audience,
09:56but it demands superhuman strength in the feet, ankles, legs, and core,
10:01not to mention years of relentless training just to avoid injury.
10:04The real artistry is in making this punishing feat look light as air,
10:08as if the dancer is floating above the stage.
10:19Balance, alignment, and control are non-negotiable,
10:22and even then, every step is a triumph.
10:25That weightless, dreamlike quality is what makes this step both beautiful
10:28and notoriously difficult to master.
10:39Number 21. Swing aerials.
10:42Swing aerials bring speed, height, and serious risk into one thrilling package.
10:48Go, Thomas! You're the king of highland!
10:54The dancer has to build momentum, launch at exactly the right moment,
10:58and trust their body to rotate cleanly through the air.
11:01Timing is everything, because even a tiny mistake can throw off the whole arc.
11:06Strength matters too, especially in the core and upper body,
11:09since the movement depends on controlling the swing instead of fighting it.
11:23After years of practice, the pros can make it look so exhilarating,
11:26almost like even gravity momentarily stopped to watch in awe.
11:30That rush of weightlessness is what makes swing aerials legendary,
11:34and why dancers chase that perfect flight.
11:54Great Irish step dancing doesn't just scare the bejesus out of Chandler Bing.
11:58It can also instill fear in any dancer trying to master the amazing ability
12:03to have one's legs flail about as if independent from one's body.
12:13From the rigid placement of the arms,
12:15to the surprising amount of strain put on your butt muscles,
12:19this quote-unquote flailing takes so much more skill and practice
12:23than most people probably assume.
12:25The truth is, most of us aren't going to be the lord of this dance,
12:28but that just means we have to appreciate it even more when someone is.
12:44Number 19. Straight Leg Scorpion Slash Needle
12:55This is a very impressive extension, to say the least.
12:59It basically involves doing the splits while standing on one leg
13:03and holding the other leg in the air behind your head.
13:06She's going to reach over with her other hand on the outside,
13:09and as she starts to walk her hands down toward her knee,
13:12she's going to extend fully and try to look straight up at that.
13:15Wow, I'm impressed.
13:17This is one of those moves where people that can do them think they're pretty easy.
13:21Just look at how many versions of the Do-A-Needle Fast tutorials there are online.
13:25However, while the trained and flexible might call it simple,
13:29the amount of work and dedication it takes to get to that point puts it on our list.
13:34You can't do it all today, but you can do it.
13:37You just need to have patience and persistence in the practice needed to reach your goal.
13:41Number 18. Devil's Elbow
13:43What if you don't have muscles to do that?
13:46You have muscles to do this.
13:47I don't have any.
13:48Every girl has muscles to do this.
13:49Try to do this move, and you could easily assume it was crafted up by the devil himself.
13:54But alas, it wasn't.
13:56A brutal pole dancing maneuver.
13:59It was created by dance instructor and multiple title winner Carly Hunter.
14:09Interestingly, she came up with the name because of how much it hurt when she first began learning it.
14:14And we don't doubt that at all,
14:16given that it requires you to hold on to the pole in the crook of your arm as you spin
14:20around.
14:21Our arms feel bruised just watching it.
14:36Number 17. Worm
14:38There's always at least one person that breaks out the worm at a wedding.
14:42And even Katy Perry couldn't contain herself during one guy's audition on American Idol.
14:51But just because everyone and their brother does it, doesn't make it easy to execute.
14:57Especially well.
14:58Getting the proper exaggerated body flow without smashing your face into the floor or hurting yourself
15:03isn't as simple as most people may think.
15:06Pretty funny, huh?
15:08Here. Down, alright?
15:10So you want to exaggerate it. Here.
15:15And that's your worm.
15:17So learn the technique and practice,
15:19and you could be the star of your next party,
15:21rather than the star of an embarrassing YouTube fail video.
15:25Bacon, baby! Bacon, baby! Bacon, baby! Bacon, baby! Bacon, baby! Bacon, baby!
15:29Ah! Ah!
15:30Number 16. Pot Stirrer.
15:32Can you, like, dance at all?
15:34Yeah, I can dance.
15:36Not to be confused with Joey Tribbiani's hysterically bad stirring the pot,
15:40the pot stirrer requires skill, training, balance, and practice.
15:45Joey's move basically sees his arms and hips awkwardly moving some air around.
15:49But our pick features a dancer in a crouched position,
15:52being stirred around by their partner at a feverish pace.
16:00It's like watching an amazingly athletic and focused human swizzle stick.
16:05It's impressive on its own,
16:07but imagine having to get up after said spinning and jump right into more dancing.
16:11We're dizzy just thinking about it.
16:13I have to get that, but no, no.
16:15Number 15. Samba roll.
16:18Often, if a dance maneuver doesn't involve obvious athleticism and or crazy strength or flexibility,
16:24it isn't seen as being that difficult.
16:26Uno, dos, tres, let go!
16:30Of course, any dancer will tell you that looks can be deceiving,
16:34and the samba roll is a perfect example of that.
16:38It's defined as a move in which, quote,
16:40two dancers turn together with their arms stretched out.
16:43That may sound easy, but it isn't.
16:45We have to really coordinate our bodies together,
16:48keeping the lady on the right side of the man.
16:50And on top of that, I'm bending backwards while the lady is bending backwards,
16:55which means I'm on the inside of the curve,
16:57and so it's really pulling the lady out of her feet.
16:59It requires a tremendous amount of coordination,
17:02as well as a deceiving amount of flexibility and balance
17:05in order to maintain the proper positioning.
17:08But wait, there's more.
17:10Your samba rhythm and hips will also be put to the test with the Boda Fogo and Volta steps.
17:15So you can see we have bouncing action, a circular hip action, and calf walk.
17:21Number 14, Pryasky.
17:33A classic in Eastern Slavic dance,
17:35this complex move requires the performer to remain in the squatting position
17:39while alternately kicking out each leg.
17:41And it's as hard as it sounds.
17:50The balance and core strength required to maintain the proper positioning
17:54while your legs fly out from underneath you are made evident immediately.
17:58Needless to say, the untrained tend to fall right on their backside
18:01before the first kick is even finished.
18:04And as if squatting and kicking in one place wasn't hard enough,
18:08try doing it while moving forward.
18:18Number 13, Multiple Turns.
18:20I want a clean double.
18:23I'm sorry, I thought there was enough music for three.
18:25I mean, wouldn't it be better if we all did a triple?
18:27From salsa to ballet to Michael Jackson,
18:30spinning is a popular dance move used by many.
18:33Go and dance on the floor in the world, babe.
18:39And to do it correctly requires impressive balance
18:42and the ability to maintain focus as your surroundings fly around you.
18:46Learning to maintain the right positioning and spotting your turns,
18:50aka moving your head to keep a specific point in your sights, is key.
18:54It's tricky, but you find that stationary thing in front of you,
18:57whatever it may be, a dot on the mirror, a friend that's not moving, whatever.
19:02It's a clock on the wall.
19:04You lock in and keep your eyes on that spot.
19:08Mastering one spin takes a little work,
19:10but mastering the ability to do multiple in a row,
19:13going round and round like a record player,
19:15that takes the difficulty level up a notch.
19:18Number 12, One Footed Wing.
19:20In tap, a wing is a three-part move that involves
19:24scraping the side of your foot out, brushing it back in,
19:27and then ending with a flat, full tap using the balls of your feet.
19:30You want to relax your ankles so they're nice and loose.
19:33Don't keep them really tight,
19:34because otherwise you won't get that brush back in part.
19:36That's the hardest part, is sound number two.
19:39So ready? We have jumped in a wing.
19:42My weight is even fast.
19:45As with many tap maneuvers, including the three-sound ripple,
19:48it's harder than it looks.
19:50But it's nothing compared to a one-footed wing,
19:53which involves doing it all while standing on one leg.
20:07And what about leaving the ground altogether
20:09with the impressively difficult Irish dance move known as the birdie?
20:13It's not for the faint of heart.
20:15The dancer simply stops after achieving the birdie position.
20:20Number 11, Arabesque.
20:22On the surface, this might seem like a rather simple ballet position,
20:25with the dancer standing on one leg
20:27and extending the other in the air behind them.
20:40But simple doesn't always equate to easy.
20:43Not to mention the fact that there's a definite difference
20:46between a good arabesque and a great one.
20:48It's not about flexibility.
20:50It doesn't matter if you are a string bean
20:52and you can do the whole lift your leg and wrap it around your head.
20:55If you don't have the back strength
20:57and you don't have hip strength,
20:59it's not going to work at all.
21:01Achieving the latter is something many performers continually strive for,
21:05even years into their careers.
21:07When perfected and incorporated into a full routine,
21:10it's absolutely enchanting.
21:12Plus, the move can provide an important snapshot
21:14of a dancer's grace and technique,
21:16which says a lot.
21:27Number 10, Paddle and Roll.
21:30Some people think that tap dancing is easy
21:32and involves nothing more than stomping around with special shoes on.
21:36But they couldn't be more wrong.
21:47It's actually much harder than it looks.
21:50Look no further than the paddle and roll to see what we mean.
21:54When done slowly,
21:55it looks like some basic heel digs, taps, and front foot slaps.
21:59In other words, nothing too complicated.
22:02All my weight is down, my weight's on the left side.
22:04I'm going to go dig to the floor.
22:06I unlock my knee, spank, step, and then a heel.
22:10But then you see what it's supposed to look like at full speed,
22:14and easy is the last word that comes to mind.
22:17Also in this realm is the shuffle slap-up changes.
22:20For both moves, the rhythm, syncopation, and speed
22:24present challenges to overcome.
22:27Okay, make sure you get all those beats out.
22:29One more time.
22:36And they are your shuffle slap-up changes.
22:40Number 9.
22:41Grand jeté.
22:42When people think of the beauty and grace of ballet,
22:45they're likely to imagine dancers doing grand jetés.
22:55The move involves leaping off the ground,
22:58extending one leg in front,
22:59with the other hovering parallel to the ground.
23:02As if doing the splits on the floor wasn't already hard enough,
23:06this move basically requires you to do one in the air.
23:09We don't sweat on YouTube.
23:12Beautiful.
23:15To get it right, one has to muster up enough height
23:18to be able to fully extend their legs,
23:20all while maintaining an upright and strong position with their torso.
23:24As they say in French,
23:26it's grand difficile.
23:28Once you get more strength and build more muscles,
23:30you'll be able to make a bigger and higher grand jeté.
23:33So it takes a lot of practice and a lot of strength
23:35to make your position very high and correctly aligned.
23:39Number 8.
23:40Headspin.
23:41The headspin is most associated with breakdancing and b-boy culture.
23:45But the move has seemingly existed for decades,
23:48as evidenced by the 1933 film Wild Boys of the Road.
23:57That much!
23:59While some dance moves fool you into thinking they're simple at first glance,
24:03this one looks as hard as it is.
24:05For most of us,
24:06just standing on our heads is difficult to achieve.
24:09So the prospect of incorporating spinning is daunting,
24:12to put it mildly.
24:20The balance, core strength,
24:22and concentration needed to spin
24:24without falling over or getting ridiculously dizzy
24:27is endlessly impressive.
24:30Now imagine ending the move with a freeze,
24:32just because you can.
24:40The monkey flip is a move that most experienced breakdancers
24:45probably have in their arsenal.
24:47And while it's pretty standard and easy once you get it,
24:51the learning process can be intimidating.
24:53Trust me, this one hand on the floor,
24:56as long as you have that, you'll be safe, right?
24:58As long as you keep going, back.
25:00Follow, follow your hand.
25:02Basically, you start by putting a hand on the ground behind you while crouched.
25:07You then use it to flip yourself onto a handstand
25:09and then back over onto your feet.
25:12Your hand can jump.
25:15Go.
25:15Now, from that point onwards,
25:18what we want to do next is we want to keep our body straighter.
25:22It's definitely a great way to transition up from the floor,
25:25but throwing yourself backwards on one hand
25:28and trusting you won't come crashing down
25:30is a fear you have to overcome for this one.
25:34Get comfortable with it.
25:35Match your clean up first,
25:36and then you're going to execute it for the people.
25:40Number six, penché.
25:42The Francophiles out there likely know
25:44that the word penché translates to bent over.
25:47And that's exactly what this ballet move entails.
26:03But as you probably guessed,
26:05there's a lot more to it than just that.
26:08Almost anyone can bend over,
26:10but doing so on one leg
26:12while the other is at a 90 to 180 degree angle
26:16is a whole other story.
26:17You have to release the hips a little bit.
26:21Send them away from me.
26:22Elongate, right?
26:24Not here.
26:25Try to go down.
26:26Send them backwards.
26:27And if you're in the center,
26:29look out.
26:30As is often the case with ballet moves,
26:33the penché demands that the person executing it
26:35possesses balance, flexibility, power, and grace.
26:40In other words,
26:41it requires time and training.
26:43And I mean, you could practice that over and over.
26:46So in the center,
26:47if you find that they're not quite working
26:49or your balance isn't quite right,
26:51taking it back to the bar
26:52and just using the pinky finger
26:54is the best way to regain it.
26:56Number five, cabriol.
26:58This is just one of many difficult ballet moves.
27:02Imagine extending one leg out,
27:04then jumping into the air,
27:06bringing the other one up to it,
27:07and thus pushing it further up.
27:09Then, try to land back on your supporting limb
27:13in a steady manner.
27:22As the natural tendency is to bring
27:25the initially elevated leg back down,
27:28perfecting this move is a whole lot harder
27:30than you may think.
27:31Once mastered though,
27:33it's a truly beautiful sight.
27:35I changed it a little.
27:39Could work.
27:40You can also try to take on double cabrioles afterward
27:43if you're feeling bold.
27:44We can only assume they're twice as hard,
27:47but it's worth it.
27:56Number four, flare.
27:58The flare can be seen in gymnastics
28:00as well as breakdancing.
28:02Having found a perfect place in both worlds.
28:05Though, its spelling varies between them.
28:13Gymnasts can perform the move during floor routines,
28:16but the maneuver's true power is on display
28:18when they utilize the pommel horse.
28:20Watching their legs swing in circles
28:22never gets less mesmerizing.
28:24The strength required to hold your torso up is one thing,
28:28but the constant swirling takes things up several notches.
28:31When I cross,
28:33I want to lift up the left foot of the floor
28:35and slide forward a little bit.
28:38So from here,
28:40slide.
28:42Again,
28:43from here,
28:45slide.
28:46While breakdancers obviously don't use a pommel horse,
28:49they've created some amazing variations as well.
28:52Just take a look at the air flare.
29:03The grand adage doesn't just involve one move.
29:07That would be too easy.
29:21Instead,
29:22it employs a series of them
29:24during a selection of a ballet.
29:25It's part of a routine,
29:27often the pas de deux,
29:28in which you're required
29:29to make slow and deliberate movements
29:32with leg lifts in each direction.
29:47The dancer must be in complete control of their body at every stage,
29:52employing strength and balance
29:54to make the gestures appear smooth and seamless.
29:56To say the concentration
29:58and muscles required to pull this off
30:00don't come easily
30:01is a serious understatement.
30:20Don't be fooled into thinking
30:22this is as easy
30:23as doing a simple spin or pirouette.
30:35A fuete is even harder
30:38as it involves the dancer using their working leg
30:41and moving it in order to whip themselves around on each turn.
30:45Nailing the timing and balance is deceptively tricky,
30:49especially when you see someone like Sharon Wehner in Swan Lake.
30:59She's incredibly elegant
31:01and actually makes doing 32 of them in a row look easy.
31:05Yet, if you ask anyone who knows anything about ballet,
31:09they'll tell you that fuetes are not for the faint of heart.
31:19Before we unveil our top pick,
31:21here are a few honorable mentions.
31:23Body rolls.
31:25They require extreme spinal isolation,
31:27fluidity and precise core muscular control.
31:30Chest forward and only the chest is touching.
31:33Then you're going to roll it down
31:35so that only the belly is touching the wall.
31:38Then lower pelvis,
31:40then touch the knees
31:41and then get away from it.
31:43Iron X.
31:44It demands elite upper body strength
31:46to hold horizontal against gravity.
31:48Kicking with the outside right leg,
31:50out and then up.
31:52Once you find your balance,
31:54slowly lower your left foot with control
31:56to get into the Iron X slash straddle flag.
31:59Make sure to keep your center of gravity
32:01as close to the pull.
32:02Barrel turn.
32:03Just try maintaining balance and spotting
32:06while spinning with a tilted torso.
32:07First going to have the one leg come up in the air.
32:10The second leg will come up in the air to match it
32:12and then come down.
32:14Great, so now let's put these together.
32:16We'll start here with our barrel turn
32:18into the barrel jump.
32:20Number one.
32:21One-handed chair flare.
32:22A number of breakdancing moves begin on the ground
32:25and involve spinning your body.
32:28There's the windmill,
32:29in which your upper back
32:30generally maintains contact with the ground.
32:32There are also Taisuke criticals,
32:35named after b-boy Taisuke,
32:36where he launches into the air,
32:38barrel rolls,
32:39and ends up back on two hands.
32:49But the one-handed chair flare
32:51undoubtedly reigns supreme in its complexity.
32:54You're essentially throwing yourself
32:56into the air with one arm
32:57and doing a 360 degree spin with your body
33:00before landing on that same limb.
33:10And try not to look absolutely terrified in the process.
33:14If you figure this move out,
33:16you can consider yourself a real pro.
33:19You guys should be practicing this first.
33:21Then, double from air chair.
33:25Please practice first.
33:27Have you tried any of these dance moves?

33:30and how long it took to master them in the comments.
