Advanced Step for Ya!

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted anything. I just finished a horrendous 2 weeks at work, and then attended the DCAC fitness convention, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Look for my advanced classes to be changing in the near future based on one of the workshops I took. Very interesting stuff!

But, in the meantime, here is Combo 1 of an Advanced Step routine that I taught back in June. I'm currently teaching another Advanced routine, which I will most likely tape this coming Monday. I taught Combos 1 and 3 of this routine (Combo 1 is shown below, the rest are to follow shortly) when I visited my good friend Leslie (Lethal Leslie to all you YouTubers and Turnsteppers) up in Canada back in early July. Hey, I'm an International Instructor! LOL.

Anyhow, please note that I had to edit nearly all of the repetition out of this video in order to get it down below 10 minutes in length (YouTube requirement), so please know that I DID, in fact, practice each layer several times with my group before moving to the next change. The actual breakdown of this combo took closer to 14-15 minutes.

Enjoy!

Advanced Step -- IN CLASS, with Breakdown!

Okay, my friends.... finally I got permission to tape my class while I teach. Many of my class members signed an agreement to allow me to tape them, and I was so pleased with their support! They are just the most wonderful people, and marvelous steppers, too! The videos below contain Combo1, 2, and 3. Then, the last video, with the background of the green pond, is the final routine assembled together and with written choreography at the bottom. Enjoy!
