how do you breakdown the chassee rock thing? i call it a chasse-mambo but i dont think my breakdowns good enough. i start with a basic, then turn it into a mambo, then i just chasse and mambo over the step. feel that there should be something after the mambo.??

[StepJunkie]

I don't really break it down. Here's my progression:

Glutes, x2 + Repeater

Change to Glute Fly Over, x2 + Repeater

Swap out the Glute Fly Over for the Chasse Rock, and keep the repeater to change leads.

I also talk a lot during this transition. As we do the move, I say "up-up-down, Rock-step" - with the feet. Most folks don't have too much trouble with picking this one up. They just have to be open to moving their feet quickly!

Just read your blog! Can't wait to see your classes live! So fun. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the breakdown for the intermediate routine, would love to see it. I like the rebound repeater in new advanced routine. I will wait to see if there is a breakdown for it in the advanced videos, or if you just do it. Looking forward to the live class videos, I bet you are too. Will probably save you a lot of time. I practiced the Knee lift, Ball Change x2 and love it!

There is a definite progression that can be used on the rebound repeater. I don't think I've done a breakdown for that routine. Breakdown goes:

Repeater 3

2 stomps Right (4), 1 Knee & exit (4)

2 Stomps (4), Down(Freeze) (5-6), Pivot (7), Walk (8)

Rock on Top (3), Down (4), Down(freeze) (5-6), Pivot (7), Walk (8)

Change the Rock on Top to the Rebound.

Last, Change the Freeze to a Ball-Change.

Voila! Enjoy!

liked that mambo or pivot "jump"-thing. how did you do that one exactly?

[StepJunkie]

The Mambo or Pivot starts out as a Basic. Then, modify it to a Mambo. Then, as an option, you can do a regular pivot that doesn't jump at all -- it's just the same as a pivot on the floor. As a final option, I give them the propulsion version, where they will propel themselves off the step out of the first step of the pivot. It's a really fun variation! Enjoy! ~Dana

Very nice....so smooth! Can't wait to use some of it in my class!

thanks for the answer!

[jeperrone]

Thanks for the breakdown. I had read your blog and it said that you had taped your advanced class this Monday with the breakdowns. I assumed it was for the most recent advanced routine you posted, the one with the rebound repeater. Must be a different advanced routine? Can't wait to see it. Thanks again.!

I love that knee over ball change up ball change! Cool!
