7-Knee repeater Plus from Jacque
This is a
Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 16850)
All 3 parts = 32 counts; reverses; tapfree. Horizontal board.
Final Part 1 (7-knee repeater variation):
- Right lead: 3 alternating syncopated stomps corner-corner (1,2-and-3,4-and-5)
- Neutral: little hop with both feet leaving the floor, land right foot on board, left foot on floor (and-6)
- Neutral: this is a "hold" while the body does what I call a "Conga" (7,8)*
- Right lead: weight the right foot which is on the board (9)
- Right lead: left leg does a side-lift while arms V overhead. Face front & travel forward (10)**
- Left lead: land the left foot on the floor on the N side, still facing front (11)
- Right lead: stomp the floor on N side, facing front, with right foot (12)
- Left lead: left foot marches in place on floor (still on N side facing front) (13)
- Right lead: cross right foot over left as in a "box" or "jazz square" (14)
- Left lead: march left,right around the W end, turning in to face E (15,16)
* Conga: Arms up & pump the torso twice. For the more reserved, you could tap the right heel on the board twice & snap fingers, etc.)
** Counts 9-12 are a frontal fly over the board. The entire move faces the front of the room. Emphasize count 12 as being a stomp on the floor otherwise youll have some people doing a tap.
Final Part 2 (3-knee repeater variation):
- Left lead: shuffle down the length of the board traveling E (1-and-2)
- Right lead: walk right, left on floor toward E, turning to face the back of the room on 4 (3,4)
- Right lead: Tango step right foot behind left on floor (still facing back of room) (5)
- Left lead: reverse your spin & go home left,right,left (6,7,8)
Final Part 3 (3-knee repeater variation):
- Right lead: at southwest corner, reverse up onto the board into a left knee up (1,2)
- Left lead: place left foot on the board, youre now facing E and rock down at SE corner with right foot (3,4)
- Left lead: weight the left foot and go into a reverse-basic (5,6,7,8)
Progression:
Part 1
- Base: 7-knee repeater
- 1. 4 stomps + 3-knee repeater
- 2. Change the first 2 stomps to the 3 alternating syncopated stomps + double stomp + 3-knees
- 3. Change the double stomps to the hop on and-6, hold on 7,8. Keep the 3-knees
- 4. Demo the Conga torso-pump on the hold on 7,8. Keep the 3-knees
- 5. Layer the last 3-knees: change to 2-knee repeater + march 4 on floor
- 6. 2-knee repeater becomes 1-knee + 1 stomp. Keep 4 marches on floor the same
- 7. Knee becomes a side-leg lift. Arms go overhead in a V
- 8. Add the base for Parts 2 & 3 as filler: 2 alternating 3-knee repeaters. You now are working with 32 counts total.
- 9. Travel off the end of the board on the side leg, stomp on the end of the board + march 4 on floor + 2 alternating 3-knee repeaters
- 10. Demo the frontal fly over the board on the side leg, stomp the floor + march 4 to the home corner + 2 repeaters
- 11. Demo making the marches a box or jazz square around the end
I prefer to isolate Parts 2, & 3 and teach them separately, then add them to Part 1.
Part 2
- Base: 3-knee repeater + 2 alternating kicks for filler
- 1. Knee-double-stomp + 2 kicks
- 2. Shuffle-double-stomp + 2 kicks
- 3. Double stomp goes to the floor toward the side of the room
- 4. Demo the walk, Tango, spin home
Part 3
- Base: 3-knee repeater + 2 alternating kicks for filler
- 1. Knee-double-stomp + 2 kicks
- 2. Knee, march 4 on top with one foot behind the other, exit + 2 kicks
- 3. On count 4 rock down on the N side, then walk home over the board + 2 kicks
- 4. Demo adding 2 reverse turns: reverse into your knee. That puts the rock-down on the home side. Then do a reverse-basic out of it.
Review Part 1 followed by 2 regular 3-knee repeaters.
Replace the repeaters with Parts 2 & 3.
Feel free to email me with questions. I will post when this is on YouTube.
