How do you come up with your step choreography?

Hi Cathe (or anyone who teaches step),

I'm just curious. How do you come up with so many different and innovative step moves? I've always been curious at all the possibilities with the step and choreography for it.

Hi Grace! When step was first introduced, there were so many endless steps and ways to put them together. Now, about 14 years later, it does become challenging to create something new and different. What I try to do is look at traditional moves in a new light to give them a different feeling. For instance, I sometimes introduce a new tempo, variation, style, format, or even a piece of equipment, to make the old seem new

Cathe,

You are a master at it. I just did PowerMax this morning - it is one of my favorites. I classify it as the Rhythmic Step of the earlier years. That workout has some major fun factor!
