hi there! if anyone can help me out, i am teaching a class in an hour, and have not yet planned what to do! for my other classes I do have class plans etc so this isn't my usual style, but because it is a fitness based class for beginner level at a gym, I tend not to teach any choreography, and we don't spend ages drilling a few moves, like i might if we wanted to work on technique. we usually refresh moves, put them together into some sort of combo or two, and then dance this out. however, i try to vary things, like last week i had them in 3 lines, back line were shimmying on spot & adding arms, the middle line were doing forward/bk shimmy step with different arms, and the front line were shimmy walking forward & back, as they all say they struggle most with shimmies! then after 32 counts the front line split, shimmy walk to make the back, they all move forward & do the next move etc etc. anyway, i'm waffling when i should be planning! but any ideas for fresh but simple combinations or fun class/group activitie whilst still working up a sweat is much appreciated! and if you can reply within an hour, i could even use them for tonight!! had a long day at work and so haven't de-stressed from that yet!
