Box Step
This is a
Quad Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 4587)
It was one of those mornings when I was lost for a multiple
step pattern. So over morning coffee I came up with this:
Box Home
B B
O O
X X
Box here
Keep in mind all movements go up and back or across:
Pattern #1: beginning on home step
- V-step cha-cha on floor, mambo back and cha-cha forward
(8 counts)
- Across two tops, mambo 1X, pivot 1X, repeater three knee
- repeat all back on the left lead back to home.
- On home repeater two knee and walk to the box on your
right, repeater two knee and walk back home left,
repeater two knee and walk to the right, alternate two
knees on the step to the right.
- Now begin the whole pattern on the steps in big box and
repeat all until you get back home.
Pattern Two: beginning on home step
- Knee straddle, knee exit, go to box across and up and lunge
side side, exit and take it back with a knee straddle, knee
exit, go to box across and up and lunge side side, exit and
turn body and repeater three ham strings corner to corner
3x's, then repeater two knee and walk to side BOX and
repeat whole pattern moving from BOX to BOX until you get
home.
Pattern Three: beginning on home step
- Turn three boxes with right lead (turning is same movement
as a continuous grapevine), stop at third box and up
and lunge back 8x's. Turn three more boxes until you get
home, on home up and lunge 8x's.
Pattern Four: beginning on home step
- Diagonal across right lead (puts you inside the square), jog
basic 1x, basic with an over the top (i.e. basic turning
back), basic jog 1x, keep moving in that diagonal/basic
pattern until you get home. When you get home, do any 32
count combo that will take you to the left lead and begin
the whole entire pattern from 1 on down on the left lead.
This all came off my head this morning and thankfully it went
well and they really enjoyed it.
Any questions, comments (good and bad), please feel free to
email me. If you can think of other patterns to add please
please send them. I teach mostly multiple step and ideas
sometimes run short. Keep up the good work on this site is a gift.
