Combo 2 from Intermediate Step routine from June 10, 2009

Here's Combo 2. I tried to edit the video so it wouldn't be too choppy and all of the layers would be in there. Hope you can use this, or get some cool ideas from it! Have fun!

Intermediate Step Class - Combo 1

Howdy, Howdy!

I taped this class a few weeks ago, and am finally getting it produced. The video below is Combo 1, which is 64 counts. YouTube requires my videos to be 10 minutes long or less, and this was a definite challenge to edit down to 10 minutes. So, if it feels a little bit choppy or rushed, it's because I really had to chop a bunch of repetition out of it. The actual breakdown for this combo took closer to 20 minutes.



Here's the Choreography for Combo 1:

Rock on Top & Straddle (5)
1 Stomp on the Front side (3)
2 Squats & go over the step into a Grapevine back/forward (10)
Alternating Stops (6)
Curb Walk (8)
Chasse Rock, x2 (8)
Shuffle & Drag (4)
L-Step (8)
4 Side Lunges & exit Home side (12)
