32 counts, reversing, tapfree. Breakdown I used is at the end.
* Back-hopturn repeater-weave: the base for this is a regular 3 knee repeater and they can choose to stay with that. Or they can do a back-hopturn for the first knee, and weave back to the home side on the third knee. Final option is to layer speed lunges in place of the second knee.
** An option for the 2 marches: keep turning as you exit the turnstep and pivot on the 2 marches. It ends up being a 360 degree spin on the floor.
Breakdown:
Repeat the basic straddle until they have it, then learn on the other lead leg. I don't know why, but people need some extra processing time for straddle moves, even with my advanced group.
This is where I layer the options for the repeater knee. They can stay with a regular repeater if they want. Cut to:
Next I have them move back on the mambo and do a mambo holding pattern instead of the corner kicks:
Repeat as needed. Then do an odd number of shuffle-turns, finish with an odd number of mambos on the other corner. Teach the turnstep on the other leg. Finish with shuffle-turns.
Put together for the Final:
Hope this makes sense. Email me with questions.
