Just to let you all know, I have been teaching step for, oh, 6 or 7 classes now. It has become very, very much smoother and the participants are really worked hard! I use choreography I learned from doing Cathe's videos. Here's the finished routine:
#1.
Up-back up-back basic (like in all-step and Body Max)
Insole around the world (does not change leads)
#2.
Knee of the side, over twice, knee off the back
Center knee up, mambo pivot (just a mambo on the step, pivoting on the floor) (changes leads)
Knee up mambo pivot again
#3.
Box lunge! exit,
Triples (turning) all the way around the step (like in Rhythmic Step)
Fast-foot repeater (like in Step blast) (Changes leads)
#4.
Knee-up, drop squat, pendulum, exit.
Knee-up (other corner) drop sq, pendulum, exit
Jump freeze
Jump freeze
Step kick (on the corner) walk back, kick, walk forward. (Does not change leads)
First I teach the moves, then combine. Then we go through Combo 1-2-1-2 maybe 4-6 times. Then move on, teach 3 then do 3, teach 4 and do 4, then do 3-4-3-4.
Then I do a "challenge" section (I don't call it that) like the Rhythmic Step challenge: we start at the top and do 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4.
I have to teach a different move to replace the very last move, for lead changing, before going all the way through though. Instead of the step kick walk etc, I put in an in-out-in repeater.
I think there will be a time I can add one more pair. When it's 3 pairs of combos I think it will self-lead-change for the challenge section.
Step instructors, take this routine! It's a lot of fun! I find that the triples come right in time, just when you need a little breeze.
Now it's time for me to change it a little, or add one more combo.
