Learn Hip Hop Dance: Harlem Shake

Shoulders
1. Drop your right shoulder forward, turning your torso slightly left. Lean back; this will lean you to the right.

2. Roll your right shoulder back while dropping your left shoulder forward. Turn your torso slightly right. Lean back; this will lean you to the left.

Keep practicing this part of the Harlem shake until you have a solid understanding of the shoulder dynamic and feel comfortable with the move.

Add a Double

1. Drop your right shoulder forward. Do the lean to the right while raising your right shoulder and dropping your left.

2. Raise your left shoulder while dropping your right. Roll your right shoulder back while dropping your left shoulder forward. Do the lean to the left.

3. Raise your right shoulder while dropping your left. Roll your left shoulder back while dropping your right shoulder forward. Do the lean to the right.

4. Raise your left shoulder while dropping your right. Roll your right shoulder back while dropping your left shoulder forward. Do the lean to the left.

Adding the Forearms and Hands

While your right shoulder is first dropped forward, hold your right forearm down at your side, fist pointing out.Whenever you do the lean in a direction, the shoulder in that direction should be raised. Hold the raised shoulder's forearm across your stomach. Your other forearm should be down at your side, fist pointing out.

When you raise your left shoulder while dropping your right, both your forearms should be pointing down, but they should also be pointing slightly to the right, as should your fists. Your left arm should be slightly outside the body, and your right arm should be held against the body.
When you roll back your right shoulder while dropping your left shoulder forward, move those forearms so that they point slightly to the left. Your fists should also point to the left.

After adding the forearms and hands, you'll be doing the full Harlem shake.

Excellent demonstration. Thank you. All other videos leading up to this one weren’t even close to demonstrating the Harlem shake. I wish you would’ve put it to music longer at the end and danced more.
