Sub for Pachi on 3/20/09

Pachi called me to sub with only one day's notice! So, I decided to be really brave (or stupid) and come up with 2 new blocks. They were really good, but I kept getting flustered. The more flustered I got, the more I forgot the next move! Finally I gave up and brought my notes right up onto the step!

Block one:
Over and back (1-8) *
Split basic (opt reverse split basic) (8-16)
3 peter ** (17-24)
Cinco de mambo *** (25-32)

Block two:
Knee off end, squat (1-4)
Tic toc, cross over exit, stomp once (5-12)
Alt. ham (13-16)
Revolve with a kick **** (17-24)
Drag, box, cha cha (25-32)

Block three:
Up and lunge 6, exit north (opt. ski the 1st 4) (1-16)
Side leg straddle, side leg exit (17-24)
3 peter (hop around option) (25-32)

*Over the top, no tap, rock back (1-5); chasse back over (6-8)
I taught this as a regular over the top and back over.

**3 peter option : Heel on top: Step knee (1,2) tap down (3) switch on top with a heel dig (4) tap down (5) Knee up (6), down down (7.8)

***Cinco de mambo: base version is one regular mambo (1-4), alt knee lift (5-8)
The syncopation comes on the mambo. Count is one-and-two-and-step knee down down

****Revolve with a kick: Base is revolving door. Step kick, ball change (where the ball is on the board and change is on the floor) down, step kick, ball change, down


Thanks to all of the patient Step Challenge students out there!
