About this video

Redfoo may have been the first one to get the boot on "Dancing With the Stars" Season 20, but when YH caught up with him during rehearsals, he was aiming to win it all! We found the LMFAO rapper hard at work with his pro partner Emma Slater, and they even showed off a bit of their jive routine for us, but not before 'Foo taught us how to do his signature "Juicy Wiggle"!

Redfoo

He's he's the master. Well, I I did teach it to her, but I think her hips still move better than mine. Her hips are more juicy than mine.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, but you have better wiggle. I've seen it. Hey! Yeah. Get juicy. Got to learn, you got to teach me the move. You got to teach me the wiggle.

Redfoo

Okay, the juicy wiggle. Yeah, let's do it, let's do it. You move your hips left and right like this. Right, left, right, left. I said left and right, but I meant right and left. Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left. Now move the head. Right, left, right, left, right. Yeah, there, uh-oh. You got it now. Okay, now swim with it. Now swim with it. Now swim with it.

Young Hollywood

You just have, you just have. How's rehearsal going?

Redfoo

Well,

Emma

Well, we have to jive. Go on, you answer that. It's it's every day, it's a different day. Today was just a long day. That sounds so negative.

Redfoo

No, it was long. It's not negative, it's neutral. Okay. It's just a fact of being long, not not not negative, but

Emma

He's doing this behind his back, right? We have to jive this week and it's so much more uh Foo for him. I just feel like his capacity. Jive is a, he loves old jive songs. We dance into his favorite song this week 'cause it's My Jam Monday. And his legs are just going it's so Foo and he really enjoys it. And I think that that passion for the dance has made it easy to grasp the technique for this one.

Young Hollywood

Well, another passion of yours is tennis. Any similarities? Uh, technique wise, skill wise?

Redfoo

Yeah, the nose over toes in tennis, really on the jive. Really This is why the jive is good. The posture. Yeah, now. Look at that. Yeah, look at that. Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, five. There you go. Yeah. Good work. That's good, that's good. You've got to have light and shade in every dance. I mean, there's the kicks and there's the kicks, but then there's there's parts of the jive which are it's a more jazzy. It's a jazzy part. Jazzy. Jazzy, and we we've been working on that. And it's it's different. It's not so pitch forward, it's more like we want to project.

Young Hollywood

How's your projection, your sex appeal? You got that going?

Redfoo

There there is the one move, you know, the Yeah, there's the rotation. Good. Sometimes you can do a I might do that 200 to 300 times in the mirror, pitched, you know. Naked. Of course. In all different ways. Sometimes you got to do it. Naked. I like that. We worked on a bunch of stuff and then we watched the tape. And I was able to see myself. And I wasn't doing it as good as that. It was good. On the tape. Maybe maybe it's the sandwich here. Maybe it's the Maybe it's the it's maybe it's the buns. Maybe it's the buns. It's about mastering your your body, your physicality so you can entertain the people. It's posture which I need to work on anyways, but I just love to learn and to, you know, grow and I love to dance. And and you know what I'm going to do? Is I'm going to walk home and I told Emma this already. I'm going to do this step. This uh

Emma

That's good.

Redfoo

All the way up my hill. I I walk up a hill. And I'm going to 'cause you got to get the muscles for the stability of the hill. And I'm going to just sit there. This is the the sexy one, you know. Oh, I don't want to hurt her. We need her. Yeah. You know. Look how you perform it. You know.

Emma

That's what I love about Foo is when people when he has an audience, like that performance just goes from like already here to through the roof.

Redfoo

Now are we going to change the look? I'll give you a secret. I may give you a little something right there. Look at that side thing. See that? What's this the ball joint? Oh my god. That's how you keep your head on, right? six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, double, double. Oh, that's too much fun. And then it gets crazy.
