Advanced Step 3/16/2009

Here is an advanced Step class for you. My class had a lot of fun with this one. I haven't taped the breakdown, and things are pretty busy with me at work at present, so I may not be able to tape the breakdown. However, if you have questions about how I broke anything down, just ask!

Breakdown of Combo 3!!

Here's the video showing the breakdown I used for Combo 3 of my latest Advanced class. I'm actually way behind in taping my classes now, after that big project at work. Maybe I can do some on Friday or this weekend. I hope you enjoy this breakdown and can try it out in your classes. Don't forget... if the Advanced choreography is too much for your classes, you can still use the breakdown and simply STOP at any other layer that you like... even I find that sometimes the "pro's" go one or two layers too many for me, so I just leave those layers out and use what I like... I hope you do the same. The most important thing is to give your classes what they can handle, and feel successful, and yet also give them a challenge (and of course, a workout!). Have fun -- that's what Step is all about!

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!
