I sat in the same seat as yesterday, which was in front of the class waiting for Tyra to walk though the door.

"And I'm back.", she entered, I don't know why, but we all clapped. "Lets began the lesson."

"Get a rhythm down, and keep it consistent with your step. Listen to music with a strong beat that has an attitude that you like while you are practicing strutting with your heels on. Try to concentrate on the attitude that you want to project, and sustain that look for as long as you can while walking. If you can put a rhythm and attitude in your step, your walk will come to life and exude a fantastic supermodel energy.", she wrote the procedure on the board.

"Strike your pose. Once you get to the end of the walk, wait a beat, and then lean onto one hip with all of your confidence and poise. You can look down at the audience now and break your focus for a moment. You don't have to move your head much- your look should come mostly from the eyes.Then compose yourself in the same facial expression and walk as before, and walk off stage.", she strikes a pose herself.

"Remember to Walk like a predator down the catwalk. There are a few signature supermodel walks and Karlie Koss' has one that is famous for its predator like style .Make your walk down the runway more swift by quickly bringing your knees up slightly more than normal and keeping one foot in front of the other. This should create a jaunty step in your walk. Put more swing in your hips because your walk is faster. Your arms will also swing from side to side more. Gently move your head back and forth with the movement of your body as you strut down the catwalk.", I imagined myself walking down the catwalk, looking fierce as could be.

"Strut with attitude down the catwalk like Naomi Campbell.Pump your legs up and down in deliberate steps down the catwalk with determination and attitude. Let your body bounce up and down as you walk. Your shoulders will move slightly up and down as you walk. Because you have more motion, you will swing your hips more. Let your hands bounce and fling back and forth however they naturally move with your walk. Keep your head ever so slightly tilted to one side and only slightly moving with your shoulders as your walk. Keep it sexy and classy, not trashy."

"Make your walk a march like Sasha Pivovarova. With this walk your arms are almost still at your sides as you walk. With this walk, your feet do not go quite as much one in front of the other as the traditional catwalk strut instead they stay more side by side. Gently stomp your way down the walkway, but keep your body mostly still and composed. Do not move your head much or arms much. Think calm and determined as you walk. That's all there is to know, now the only thing we have to do is see if you can do it and with your outfit don't over do it.", she smiled and disappear out the classroom.

Oh my god I can't wait, I'm about to kill it.
