Warm Up — “Pump It!”
I used this warm-up to sub a “Butts and Guts” class last week. It is choreographed to the song “Pump It” by the Black Eyed Peas. The next week, I had new faces in my regular class because they had so much fun. This warm-up works because it is fun, outside the box, and totally unexpected. You’ll have them begging for more when you show them what a blast you are! The trick is to DANCE every single one of these steps with a hip-hop feel. Don’t march straight and tall. Bend low and pop your knees into your chest. Add subtle shoulder and hip action that makes in more like being in a video than in a <<insert format here>> class. Play with it, practice it, be comfortable so that they will be comfortable. That’s the trick! Have a GREAT time!
