Misty loves a Mambo in a Quad Step Combo
This is a
Quad Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 5591)
Steps are organized in typical Quad grid with an empty
row on the right and an empty row on the back to allow
for movement.
AAA CCC
BBB DDD
Some of this is borrowed. Many thanks for your submissions.
Left foot leads each of these 32 count combos. The foot
designated in the combos is the foot that hits the step on
beat one. Start in the Gap of A and B, ping ponging with
knee lifts to get the class used to changing steps befor
launching into combos. I usually teach the first sixteen
counts of combo 1 in Step A and B before moving it the C and D.
1.
- Knee on A (left foot)
- Knee on B (right foot)
- Knee on C (left foot)
- Turnstep on D (right foot)
- Rocking horse on C 2x (right foot on 1, left foot on 2)
Self reverse with right lead on C.
2. Back on step A, with left foot lead
- Inside loop = turnstep on A, ping pong for a turnstep on
B. Left foot for both turnsteps.
- Kick on A (left foot)
- Kick on B (right foot)
- Kick on C (left foot)
- Kick on D (right foot)
- Repeater knee on C (left foot)
Self reverse with right lead on C.
3. Tricky combo. Back on A with left lead
- Kick mambo (left foot)
- Knee on A (left foot) (change bench to C)
- Knee on C (right foot) (adds variety to the class as
they have to work the gap between A and C)
- Double V (left lead on C with 1 V-step, turn around and
V-step on D) (left foot leads for both Vs)
- Repeater knee on C (left lead) After they learn the combo
I replace the repeater knee with double knee, 2
alternating lunges on floor. Takes 8 counts like a
repeater, but it sets this combo apart from combo 2.
Self reverse with right lead on C.
4. Back on A with left lead
- Over the top of A 2X
- Up up lunge 6X on B, exit right (right foot)
- Diagonal over B (left foot)
- Turnstep on C (left lead)
Self reverses with right lead on D. (This is another twist
as the other combos have self reversed on C)
All my classes love this because it is both easy and
complicated, all of the moves are safe, and time flies.
If you have any questions please email me. Also if you
have any Quad choreography, I am most eager to hear
from you.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This class is named for Misty, who shares my belief that,
"A day without a Mambo is like a day without sunshine."
