"We're going to take our Sunrise and Sunset Arms and add them to the Egyptian Walk. So just to review, the sunrise arms come up and then they come back down. And they're going to come up and down on eight counts. So they're going to go one, two is here, three is here, four is here and then five, six, seven, but they're going to go nice and smooth. They're going to go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Now along with this, the Egyptian walk is nice and crisp, three; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. So the arms are smooth coming up two, three, four, and the feet, and the hips are nice and crisp, keeping time with the music. Ready? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight. Goos. So you probably want to drill those arms separately, drill the Egyptian Walk and then see if you can add the two together."
