ALL RT'ERS -- Favorite Cathe step "move"?

[TarHeelMom]

Hi RTers!

As those of you who have attended RT's know, Cathe likes to try to incorporate some "crowd favorite" moves into the Saturday morning step class. We'd like to gather a list for her from this year's attendees, so please post here and tell us your ONE favorite Cathe step move. And when you post, say "AUGUST" or "JULY" in your response -- that'll help us keep track for each weekend!

Keep in mind that Cathe's ALL about us having a great time in this class and being able to follow along. Complex moves just don't work well in a big, excited, happily nervous crowd. So she does NOT include the more intricate stuff from her choreography -- even it were voted the #1 favorite "move".

If you're a RT newbie, please don't stress over keeping up or following along in this class. Even if you're at the back of the room, you'll be able to follow someone just ahead of you, Cathe's verbal cuing is terrific, and the moves, as we said, are really going to be ones that you recognize by name. I am a complete step klutz and, two years in a row, I've "gotten" 98% of it and had a ball -- you will, too!!!

Melissa, I LOVE that move! The 4DS LIS warmup is one of my all-time favorite segments from ANY Cathe step tape, and that move is such fun!

The one where you use the step as a holder for your favorite beverage and your feet during NFL Sundays in the fall has long been a fave of mine....

Sorry, couldn't resist...quietly backing away from this topic now!

Mine too Kathy. I try to sub that move in anywhere I can, in any of Cathe's step workouts. It brings back fond memories of RT '07 and I can't help but smile whenever I do it!!!

I think it's a pump repeater.

Power box is good. I like outer thigh repeater, or whatever it is, when you lift your thigh out to the side. July!

The "little da DUH" slam it from low max that we were supposed to be surprised by. Makes me smile just thinking of it!

I'm AUGUST:

Drop Squat pendulum, mambo cha-cha pivot, power box, "v step" arms included from BodyMax 2 (my husband calls those my "fame arms" from the old show Fame!)he starts chanting "Fame--->I'm going to live forever...."

I can keep going and going, but those are a few!

Fast feet shuffles!!!!

RE: ALL RT'ERS -- Favorite Cathe step

July

Pendulums across the board a favorite here also. The whole segment #2 in IMAX 2, blast included. Also like all of 4Ds LI. Not a big fan of anything w/pivots, can't seem to get them. I can easily modify where need be.

Oooh, so many choices! I love the reverse mambos in Low Max (and the "slam-it"s) I agree with everyone else who loves the hip hop in LIS, the pump repeater, and the pendulum across the board.

I also loved the "in-out-in" repeater in Step Works where you hop up and get some real air during the middle one. So much fun.

These are just a few.

I can't wait!!!

Full circle repeaters

Wide lunges!

This baby's goin' for a ride tonight!!!

RE: ALL RT'ERS -- Favorite Cathe step

Uh...totally forgot about fast feet shuffles!! LOVE 'EM!!

POWER JIGS...forgot about those too! Good ones Kate.

Sorry, Kathy, but I thought of ONE more...

Just finished LIS 7 ), the move in the third combo: cha-cha, cross over the board, triple around the corner. LIS is just nuthin' but FUN!!:+
