Man vs Machine Guard 2009

Choreographed by: Alyssa Smith and Brandon Felker

I am going to break this down by counts and then, at the end, do it all together. My camera doesn’t have sound so bear with me and pay attention to the details I point out that will help you guys out. The ending of the music I have isn’t exactly like the new ending but it’s close enough. See you Saturday!!
