Doublin' the Fun
This is a
Double Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 1005)
The steps are placed horizontally. I call the front step, front step and
the back step home. I start the routine behind home step.
Combo One- an easy start
- Basic right, V right, basic left, V left (16)
- Two slow kicks right, repeat left (16)*
*The add on alternative is a tap over the bench in between the kicks
instead of tapping on your side of the step.
Combo Two- Around the World.
- Turnstep right, over the top, turnstep front step (left lead)
over the top (16)
- Turnstep left, over the top, turnstep home step (right lead),
over the top(16)
Combo Three- Around the World with a Drunken Sailor
- Diagonal, reverse turn* front step, over the top, U turn* (16)
- Diagonal, reverse turn home step,over the top, U turn (16)
*Reverse turn is an advanced move. Most people should watch their
feet while doing it. At the end of the step, facing outward, starting with
the inside foot moving on top of the step, next put your outside foot on the
other end of the step (your back should be facing the step that you are now
standing on), you keep turning through this and step step down off the
bench. You should now be standing at the other end of the bench facing
outward.
*U turn is simply a very small turnstep, making a little u with your feet.
Combo Four- Stuck in the Middle
- Over the top, kick front (right lead for both), knee back (left
lead on home step), U turn on front step (16)
- Over the top, over the top, U turn on home step, over the top (16)
*Higher alternatives in this combo are a karate power kick with karate arms
(make your own), and a nutcracker instead of the knee (a nutcracker is a
leap on top of the step with the back leg extended behind on the first count,
on the second count the back leg comes up into a knee up. You can make
interesting sound effects with both of these alternatives. We also use boxing
arms on the U turn.
I hope I explained this well. I just discovered this site. I have found
some great patterns! Let me know how you like the start of mine. There's a
lot more to this routine! I'll include more later.
