Je vais me lever tôt.I'm going to get up early.

Tu vas t'habiller.You're going to get dressed.

Elle va s'amuser.She's going to have fun.

Vous allez vous asseoir.You're going to sit down.

Mes jumelles vont s'appeler Léa et Zoé.My twin girls are going to be called Léa and Zoé.

To form Le Futur Proche of reflexive verbs, you place the reflexive pronoun (me/te/se/nous/vous/se) between aller and the infinitive of the reflexive verb:  

Aller + (me/te/se/nous/vous/se) + infinitive 

ATTENTION:

The reflexive pronoun needs to match the subject of the verb (who's doing the action) :
 Je vais se lever. -> Je vais me lever.
