Connie’s Choreography Corner

by Connie Jo York

Note:  This is a combination of four Step patterns.  For complete descriptions of these choreography moves, please refer to the FUSION workout in this issue of Fitness Plus.  The counts are in parenthesis.

Begin this combination at the short end, facing the Step.  Lead with your right foot on pattern one and you will automatically be leading left when you start the entire combination again.

One (32 count pattern)

*1X Right Basic (counts 1-4)
*1X Hop skip forward on the Step and exit down to right side of the Step (5-10) 

*1X Jumping Jack (11-12)

*Walk forward 2 walks on the floor to clear Step (13-14); the foot closer to the Step leads on this walk-walk, left-right (13-14).

*Shuffle left (15-16); shuffle right (17-18), to get in Home position, turning right after the first shuffle to get Home.  Home is at the long side of the Step, where we usually begin.

*1X 6-count mambo (19-24)

*1X Hop turn around the corner (25-28)

*1X Hamstring curl at the end of the Step (29-32)
