Now Accepting Registrations for October Workshops in Virginia

I am now accepting registrations for my weekend of workshops in October. These workshops are being held at my "home" gym -- LifeTime Fitness in Centreville, Virginia -- on October 23-24, 2010.

Saturday's workshop will be a detailed workshop that covers all aspects of teaching Step, from safety, to cueing, to creating interesting 32-count choreography, and finally a detailed session on breakdowns!

Sunday's session presents a method I created that enables me to create new choreography and its corresponding breakdown extremely quickly -- who doesn't like that idea??? While it is not mandatory, I do recommend that you take the Saturday workshop prior to taking this workshop to ensure you have a firm grasp on my breakdown method.

I'm still offering these workshops at my low introductory rate. To read more details about these workshops, or to register, please visit my website at: www.stepjunkie.com. Feel free to spread the word to anyone who teaches Step, or who wants to teach it! I will be happy to email you a flyer if you are interested in sharing it with others.

Thanks!!
Dana

Advanced Step, August 27, Combo 2

Hello to all!

Here is combo 2 of my recent Advanced Step class. The breakdown on this combo was really very easy. The hardest part is the reverse knee over the step, because people aren't sure which direction to exit the step. I just pointed, and reminded them that the "Crossover Cha-cha" went to the same side of the as it had been before we did the knee going over.

Enjoy!

Dana
