Dust it off!
This is a
Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 5068)
I thought I'd take some of my routines out of my file and share
them with you all. This one is probably close to being 2
years old, time to dust it off and bring it out of retirement.
Nothing extremely fancy, but fun, nonetheless.
Combo 1
- A-step (across the top rather than facing front) 3x (12)
- Turnstep 1x (4)
- 2 Knee repeater and walk behind the bench to other side
(or turn in as you go around for an option) (8)
- Walk the step* (8)
Repeat on left
*Walk the step--it may be called something else, but here is a
description-- on left lead, facing right side of room, left foot
to bench while right foot lifts off floor slightly (1), right
foot back to floor (2), left foot steps to floor ahead of right
foot, sort of a mambo move, again, right foot lifts slightly
(3), right foot back to floor (4), left foot back to step as
right lifts slightly again (5), right foot back to floor, once
again (6), left foot steps back down to floor behind the right
foot, again it resembles a mambo, right foot is slightly lifted
(7), and finally right foot back to floor (8), you have completed
"walk the step". I usually put the class into stomp (chug, peg
leg, whatever you call it) while I demo. This move, it's easy
to transition to it from stomp.
Combo 2
- Turnstep 3x (12)
- Grapevine (face the back) (4)
- T-step (8)
- Over 2x or hop turn 2x (8)
Repeat left
Combo 3
- Basic right 2x (8)
- L-step (8)
- Figure eight* (16)
Repeat left
*Figure eight -- starting with left lead-- diagonal, right lead
hop turn, right lead diagonal, left lead hop turn
Combo 4
- L- off the left side (4)
- Over, long 2x (8)
- 1/4 Hop turn (end up facing right side of room on
north side of bench) (4)
- Diagonal (4)
- Abductor side to side (8)
- Basic left 1x (4)
Repeat left
Combo 5
- On the floor, facing left side of room, basic right 2x (8)
or this option:
hop forward (counts 1,2), hop back (counts 3,4), hop
forward and back at tempo (counts 5,6,7,8)
- Walk around bench 4 counts, right lead (4)
- 2 Knee repeater straddle (6)
- 2 Knee repeater, exit home (6)
- Turnstep 2x (8)
Repeat left
I remember getting a lot of energy from my classes with
this material. I'm sure most of it is borrowed and reworked.
Have fun with it, I sure did. I think I may use some of it
again, myself!
Thanks to all who make this place happen!
