Step: Picking up the pieces!
The evolution of step has taken us to a whole new level today. When step was first introduced to the fitness industry, we did moves called, basics, repeaters, leg curls, turn steps and let’s not forget the good old across the top. We have now incorporated directional changes, rhythm changes, dance on the stop and cross phrasing, just to name a few. What happened in between then and now?  In this workshop, we will explore the true art in how to breakdown our choreography so that even a newer stepper can feel successful and the die hard, front row, cart wheel double back flip across the top people will still be challenged.

Wanna be a dancer?
Have you always wanted to move like a dancer and add more dance style to your cardio classes? Let’s combine dance moves with heart pounding cardio! We will put together graceful movements by linking choreography in a smooth and logical manner. Add a pop of power and rhythm changes for a variety of dance flavors. No dance back ground needed, just an open mind and the desire to take ourselves out of our boxes.

Step in the way!
Workshop

Step in the way is all about the stylized floor choreography that we add in our step classes. Create more combinations while utilizing the step some of the time, but not all of the time. Much of the step choreography that we use offers a mix of floor and step styles. This method allows us more freedom with our choreography, more variety and a fun way to still honor step choreography.

Step on the fly!
Workshop

Do you make up step choreography on the way to the gym?
If the answer is “yes” this workshop if for you! We will take a look at some tried and true choreography that is easy to layer, interesting, but easy enough to teach and build…even at the last minute. Join Kim to pick up a few tricks that you can use the next time you are in a rut and need some quick choreography!

Step-Simplicity to Complexity

Let’s take a journey through time from when step was simple through where step is today! We will layer base moves found in the 1980s to the present where we have added floor moves, direction, rhythm and dance choreography. In this workshop, we will do it all, so get ready to step from simplicity to complexity!

Cardio Dance-Spin me around!!
Workshop

This cardio dance class might make your hair tie up in knots. By implementing multiple spins and turns, you are sure to walk away dazzled, or shall we say “dizzy”. Don’t be afraid, this workshop offers subtle layers to learn base choreography before moving in to directional changes, rhythm changes and of course spins. If you like to spin around in your cardio dance classes, this one is a must for you, so join Kim in this non stop cardio dance class and let’s spin around!!!

So, come and combine dance moves, style and rhythm with the heart pounding cardio of good old hi-low.

“Spin that Step”
Workshop or Master Class

Spin that step, you might ask? This session has been created for the step teacher, that loves to spin around, over and on the step. The more turns the better, however, turns are always an option and it is not mandatory that you are a spinning stepper to attend this session. Multiple layers and options give you the choice to spin around or not. Make each move your own and teach it to your classes next week!

Step in style!
Master class

Step in style? It almost sounds like Prada or Gucci shoes. Not in this workout! Just fun step choreography that will be stylized with a variety of dance moves, rhythm changes, cross phrasing and at the end, a grand finale along with a stylized cool down. A must if you want to add a few simple touches to your current step class.
