Lesson 4: Choreography & Sequencing
Duration of Days: 1
Lesson Objective
Students will combine 4 individual moves into a "combo" or "block" and perform it on both the left and right leads.
Why is it important to combine a variety of step aerobic moves in a specific sequence?
The 32 Count Block
Transitions
Mirroring
Standard 2: Applies knowledge to movement (sequencing).
(DOK 2) Why is it important in Step Aerobics to ensure we perform the same number of repetitions on the left lead as we do on the right lead?
In real life, the ability to navigate stairs, recover from a trip or stumble, and maintain balance on uneven surfaces all rely on the same "foot-eye" coordination developed on the platform. Furthermore, the rhythmic nature of the class teaches students how to use music as a tool for pacing and mental motivation during physical exertion.
