What This Module Trains 🎯

The Spiral Step, a Suzy Q that continues with a series of kicks.

The Moves 🧠

Lesson 1.

Spiral Step. A Suzy Q, a kick on 4, then a half Suzy Q on 5, 6, 7 before your basic.

  • Travel to your right.

Double Spiral Step. The same, but you kick again on 7 and step back with the right on 8.

  • A full count step: you do something on every count.

Lesson 2.

Diagonal Spiral Step. Pivot on 7 to face your right diagonal, then cross on 1 and do your spiral.

Full Spiral Combo. A double, then a single, then a half right turn on 5, 6, 7 to repeat it to your left.

How the Drill Runs πŸ”

  1. Single and double to the front
  2. Single and double on the diagonal
  3. Full Spiral Combo, then everything from the back

Technique Cues πŸ’‘

  • Kick from the knee, like killing a bug on the floor, not a soccer ball.
  • Imagine a rubber band on your heel snapping your foot back.

πŸ’‘ Drill it: kick with the knee and point that toe.
