move like that!â
âTaught her everything she knows,â said Brimax.
âYou did not,â said Bridget.
âWell, I was an inspiration, at least.â
Bridget went to play-hit him but he grabbed her and they started being all gross and lovey-dovey, so I looked away.
And I saw Mum and Dad.
They seemed a bit out of place, and they were still in their work clothes, but they were there, standing only a few metres away.
So theyâd finally made it to one of my performances. They couldnât have picked a better one!
âYou were beautiful, Ash,â said Mum. âOr funky. Or ⦠whatâs the right word? Whatever it is. You were perfect.â
âTotally cool,â said Dad, doing a move that was exactly the opposite.
I reached forward to give them a hug before I died of embarrassment.
But I wasnât really embarrassed. I was a big, fat, excited ball of happy.
I had a pair of the most amazing, delicious purple, silver and gold high tops, great new friends and was in my own dance crew.
And none of it would have ever been possible, unless Iâd come to Silver Shoes!

How to do a Perfect Front Aerial
A front aerial is an acrobatic move, often found in hip hop dancing, in which a person performs a complete revolution of the body without touching the ground. Follow the movements in the illustration below for a front aerial that is both smooth and strong.
Tips
Practise doing front walkovers and one-armed walkovers before you try to do a front aerial.
Push up off the ground on your leading leg rather than out or forward. This will help you achieve the upward momentum you need.
Donât forget to stand up straight at the end!
Glossary
Hey guys! Iâve made a list of some of the terms and moves that we use in hip hop class. There are a few acro terms here too, because Jay loves to put tricks into his choreography! Always use mats if youâre trying anything new or hard, and remember that the move isnât always the most important thing, itâs the âflavaâ you put into your dancing. Have fun âhitting itâ!
Love, Ash

aerial a front walkover performed without any hands on the floor
b-boys/b-girls what you call dancers who breakdance
body roll when your whole body moves in a wave-like motion, most often starting with your head
boogaloo the aim is to dance so you look like you have no bones; itâs a very loose movement that involves mostly rolling your hips, knees and legs
breaking breaking/breakdancing tends to be made up on the spot; you perform the moves at different levels, switching from uprock (performed while standing), to downrock (performed close to the floor), from power moves and acrobatics to freezes
choreographer the âdesignerâ of a dance routine. Choreography is all the moves, sequences, patterns and form that make up a dance.
cranking a crisscrossing bounce/jump travelling step, where your arms come up like youâre riding a motorcycle
elbow stand this is like doing a handstand, but on your elbows, and usually one leg will be bent
