Breakdown of Alternate Combo 2 (Advanced)

I taped this a while ago, and then got really busy with my regular job, so I snuck in producing this video so I could get it posted for you. I really liked this breakdown, because I thought it was smooth and easy to follow, and doesn't really have any "weird" layers.

I hope you can see the words. I've been told that the ads sometimes won't "go away" if you push the X. If that continues to be the case, I'll see if the Revver website can fix it.

Keep Stepping!

Easy Intermediate Step Class

Okay, here's that Easy Intermediate Step class I promised. One thing I like to do is to mix up the Repeater Knees in my classes. For example, I will use a routine like this one for 3 or 4 classes, but each class I will change to a different repeater knee. It gives people new ideas and gives the combo a little bit of a different flavor each class. Have fun!!

Alternate Combo 2 for recent Advanced Step routine

Happy September!!

I taped an alternate Combo 2 for the Advanced Step routine from August 28 (they have the same background picture). So, if your group can handle a lot of advanced choreography, you can use this one instead of the simpler one shown in the other video. I hope to tape the breakdown of this combo this weekend, and it will also have the same background picture. I also will be posting an Easy Intermediate routine within the next day or 2, in case that's your thing!




Choreography:

Stomp & Switch, into an up-up (4)
Ball change (down-down up) & exit home (4)
Mambo off the end (4)
"Open the Box" (5)
Reverse up, Elvis & shuffle off the end, Spin to face front (6)
Stomp & hold, shuffle up, crossover & exit (9)

Enjoy!
