“somebody call 911 shorty fire burning on the dance floor… whoa oh oh”… I had to watch this video again because I wasn’t through laughing. That girl cracks me up. “A pullover is very basic. Watch. [does pullover] Okay that’s the pullover.” hahaha love it. But I am with Tim: what are “mini-tap swings”?
From what we were told this morning, a mini-tap swing is the first thing she does in the video Elizabeth posted above (where she is using the bungee cord). Basically, you hang from a pull up bar, bend at the waist, legs straight. and get the tops of your feet up to the bar.
I say ‘what we were told’ rather than ‘what I did’ because none of my reps came close to looking like they should have. It was a sad, sad morning.
Here’s an example of the what mini-tap swings are–it’s at about the one minute mark in the video. Although the guy in the video doesn’t really open his shoulder angle in the front as much as I would like to see that’s the general idea.
Any video of what a mini-tap swing is?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3s9xEBD9mE She does some taps in this one… but she also does a lot more. And I love her explanations. Can we do “whips”?

You, Hillary, and I should start a “hollow rocks are impossible” club. I seriously have no idea how to do them.
