Combination 2: Box step forward and back, single-single-double curl, then chassé steps.
Combination 3: Two chassés forward, quick out-and-in footwork, then wide march.

All combinations can be adapted for different impact levels and teaching styles.
Encouraged to insert personal variations or substitute moves within the structure.
Choreography is easy to break down in class and quick to learn for participants.

Warm-up with a walk forward, walk back, then chassé forward and back, all low impact.
Add variation: walk forward with two lunges, walk back, then chassé both directions.
Combination 1: walk forward, lunges, walk back, rock step, and chassé.

Combination 3: jump or walk forward, step-touch back, running grapevine side-to-side, add single and double arm reaches, and hop back.
Final choreography combines all previous blocks into one continuous routine.
Suggestions for variation: break down each block, repeat for longer sessions, mix and match sequences, adjust BPM (140 BPM suggested) for intensity.
