Joe .
What's up guys ?
This is paradox .
We are here in Shanghai at the CASA studio where I just gave a freaking three hour workshop .
It is three o'clock at night but it is time to give you some new moves of my last video ghost .
So in this tutorial , I want to share with you another trace and thread concept .
Tracing , meaning tracing over the body treading , meaning having a loop and a needle , needle and thread .
And we go through the loop for the first combo .
We're gonna start with grabbing our knee and creating this loop over here .
We're gonna take our hand as the needle and put it inside as a tread .
But we're not going to do it vertically down .
We are gonna swing it around like soap , boom .
As we do that , we step back , boom to create a dynamic way of doing it instead of shark down back .
Easy to give it a little bit more flair , a little bit more sauce .
We need sauce .
Really important .
You can actually rotate your leg , your lower part of your leg while you boom , bring it in to just give it that extra turn .
OK .
So we grab our knee , we tread inside .
From here , we step back , raise our right hand or whatever hand you want to use to our head to create a new loop that we can then use .
From here .
We're gonna swing our other arm over boom and come in to create the thread .
So this is the loop .
I swing and bring it into the loop .
Yeah .
At the same time with the swing , we're gonna raise our leg onto our knee like soap .
Swing in boom right there .
Yes .
From here we switch hands .
So again , I swing , I bring my body forward to create the thread .
So I'm not threading backwards .
Boom in .
Yes .
You jump into it or you rotate into it .
Basically .
Boom , change hands , touch my head with my other hand , create a thread with the loop that I've created here .
Boom .
From here , you create a chain reaction with your hands by bringing one up , bringing one down like a clock or like Domino's boom .
Boom .
When the hand comes down , boom , boom , you grab your elbow , raise it up and bring it down .
At the same time , my legs are going to switch from position .
So as this comes up , my leg comes down , I switch and then I bring my hand down , which brings us to the last moment to the last step .
And that is another tread where I take my leg and put him into this loop right here .
To then trace up the body and finish the first combo .
So that's the full combo .
Let's try it out a little quicker .
We take the knee and create the first thread right here .
Come up , swing second thread with the leg .
We change hands , come in , tick tack , grab , switch down , tread and slide your hand up besides your leg and then body to the head .
Boom like .
So that's a trace .
So from here , we're gonna continue this combination from the head where we finished the previous one .
This is a different combo , but you can connect them together if you want to .
We're gonna start by making another tread .
But this time we're gonna use our chin as the part of the loop .
How does it work ?
It's very simple .
I just create the needle right here and go inside .
Then you wanna switch your hand .
So you use your face and look to the other side to grab your chin with your other hand and switch again .
This is a fun little concept that I use a lot in my dance and play around with a lot .
So just have fun with it and search for how many ways you can switch your hands and create threads with them .
It's awesome for now .
We're gonna do this two times .
So we're gonna start off where we finished .
Bring it over here , then tread once , switch and thread twice .
And as we threat the second time you actually create a trace with your chin and your forearm .
So I bring it in and I go over my forearm with my chin and my hand stays here to finish it off .
Boom , so fast , left and right from here , we continue the combination into tracing instead of treading again , tracing is about tracing out lines and parts of your body with another body part , right ?
So in this instance , we're gonna use our chin to create the trace .
In the first part of the sequence , we trace our chin to our hand and then bring it up .
So trace up after which we trace that down and trace to the other arm .
So again to the hand , bring up trace down , switch to the other arm from here , we create another trace , but we use our hand to create the trace instead of our head back up .
Now we use our head to push down the arm and push up the other arm and let's finish it off , right ?
Trace down and trace back inside .
So do it with me slowly .
You finished here with the tread , go to the side to your hand , bring it up that makes you slide down , make sure you use your chin boom , slide down , slide to the side , bring the whole arm up , bring the whole arm down , come to the other side , bring it back up .
You use your hand again to trace down .
It doesn't matter if it's front or back doesn't matter , you can do whatever you want with that .
And then I come in to grab my head and finish that little trace sequence .
So let's connect the thread and the traces together .
Slowly .
We finished off here as we traced up , bring it to the chin , come in and switch straight sideways , up , down , side , up , down , up , back down , trace finish .
OK .
So let's finish it with the third part of the second sequence .
We were right here from here .
What we're gonna do is we're gonna , again , swing our arm back , boom to hit our head down .
So it's another trace down the arm boom from here .
I'm going to again , push my arm to another side , but follow with the head down side and then lastly , I pushed my head again to the other side .
So first I push my head down , then I push my arm out , push my head to the other side from here .
It's a very easy finish .
I'm gonna switch arms just like the one that we did here .
But now I'm gonna trace down , change the direction of my arm boom , go down again , change the direction of my arm and go down uh again , and that's in a very interesting position where it finishes off .
If you want to finish it off , right ?
You can rotate back up uh and finish it right .
OK .
Now let's move to the second Gumbo a little bit faster .
We finished off at the head .
We tread switch , trace come out up down , trace and switch .
Bring down grab and boom , boom , trace switch and down , down down , boom .
Finish it off .
Awesome .
I hope you got that because now we're going to bring the two combos together into one .
So for the full combo , let's go .
We grab our knee op .
Come in , step back , swing , come in twitch , bring it in boom , boom .
Don't forget to switch your leg .
Come down , thread through your leg and up .
Hey , boom and switch in .
Trace up , down , side , up , down and up .
Bring it down , trace , grab , boom , sideways , boom , trace crab again .
Same idea .
But now we go down the stairs to eventually rotate back up and finish it off .
So that concludes this video and my combos of my video , Ghost by Jaden Smith .
Also , if you would like to learn more about freestyle , I actually have a program on female where I teach a lot of my techniques .
I share with you my thoughts about how to dance and I just give you bigger types of tutorials that help you more in depth to practice freestyle as opposed to just my own moves .
You can find the link of this program in the description box of this video .
So if you want to check it out and check out any of the techniques or whatever I am teaching , you , please go ahead and just choose whatever you like to learn groove isolation concepts , it's whatever .
But for now , thank you so much for watching this video and I hope to see you in the next one .
