- What's the third eight-count?
Ready? Let's start it together.
Ready, five, six, seven,
and one, two, three, four.
I love what I do.
I really love working with kids.
- He pushes us a lot
- No snapping on that. I just naturally snap...
You need to challenge kids.
- It was very vigorous work.
- Two, three, four, five...
They have this honor.
They know that they have to work fast.
- * Puttin' on a show and not just any old *
- You want to have something
that you can be really proud of.
And something
that's more difficult
you can be more proud of
if you work really hard on it.
- One, two, three, four. [snap]
And that's my job as educator
to get them comfortable with the situation
and help them to build themselves
and to discover things within them
that they might not know that they have.
...Eight. With the arm!
