6:50 - #9 New Move to Swivels forward
8:02 - #10 Swivels forward to scooting back

Tips:
Many (but not all) these steps start on 8. Practice your counting, and watch the demo to make sure you've got it.
Memorize the order of the moves. Practice them over and over in your head.
Practice each transition separately.
Don't rush. You're gonna want to, but resist. The slow tempo leaves "empty spaces" for you to fill out with juicy movement.
We purposely did not demo this routine showing the back view. That doesn't train your memory. I'm serious about learning, not giving you a crutch. It may be frustrating, but think of it as tough love. Heavier on the love than the toughness.
Practice, practice, practice. This is the PERFECT sort of routine to work on these moves I've been teaching.
Have fun! But you already knew that.
