BODYSTEP® 67 - 2007

There's something for everyone in this great new release- from standard BODYSTEP moves to fun innovations like 'stability swirls' and a recurring theme of cha cha cha. Steppers will also love the mix of rock classics and current chart toppers.

A major focus was on providing extended chereo to allow steppers to 'see the move', 'feel the move' and then really 'work the move'. Members get that chance from the get go, with a Buckwild remake of the Pat Benatar hit making sure that everyone is All Fired Up and Jessica Simpson kicking in with her feel good, chart topping A Public Affair.

We nod to the Aussies with Down Under in the Step Orientation and lift the pace with Wild Women Do in the step athletic. Then the focus is on working the legs and the cardio in the Mixed strength track. Hip to Be Square sets up a great stepping theme to take up to the Power Peak and then we bring on the new stability swirl to work the hips and butt and to train balance and stability.

Party Playaz get the Party step rocking with Don't You Know and there is a chance to test your dancing skills with a variety of cha cha steps in the speed step. No frills rock and roll powers up the second peak with Do We Rock and we wind up another great class with Yello and Beyonce.

BODYSTEP® 66 2006

Changing the orientation of the step platform creates a huge scope for new choreography in the new class and Mark and Lisa have taken full advantage of the new innovation. This release is full of novelty, while retaining all the energy and athleticism that steppers demand. Members will get a real buzz of anticipation then they start the new class with a cue to turn the step the "long" way round. The stepping has a new feel but it's quickly mastered with good coaching and the upbeat rhythm of a great AC/DC cover song to set the mood. No new moves in tracks 2 or 3 but lots of great stepping through the step warm-up to the Kelly Clarkson chart-topper, Walk Away, and the Step Orientation with Hitchin'A Ride. Steppers hit their first peak in track four with the ultra-energetic I've Got the Music In Me, then return the bench to the horizontal position for the rest of the class. The challenge for the next track is to get low in the legs for the new half-stomp and skater knee combo. Time to get vocal with a remake of Def Leppard in the second peak - singers will shout the house down here - then drop back for some active recovery with Christina. There's jazz feel in the side tap and chance for performers to strut their stuff. Enjoy the pivot turn in the Party Step and then check out the new speed T stomp. You can really boost your cardio output here while having fun with Love is a Contact Sport. Track 10 will leave you shattered but on a huge fitness "high" - just what you need to tackle the new walking plank move in the fully optioned conditioning track.

BODYSTEP® 65 - 2006
There's a bit of a rock feel to the new class, with songs from the 80s right through to the current top 40. The opening track gets you hooked from the start. You'll feel like a pop star walking the red carpet as you Warm up with the Rhythm Twins' When Will I Be Famous. Strong armlines and the return of the Rocker are important features of the step warm-up; then rev it up and really get moving to the KopyKatz high octane remake of the Cars classic Just What I Needed. The highlights keep on coming with Southern Light's Be Good Johnny for the power peak and watch out for the new back tap and lift combo in the step recovery that's guaranteed to tone and shape the glutes. The music is Dirrty! Class members will love the combative flavour of the jabs and knee lifts in the third power peak - they won't realise how hard they've been working until they hit the finale pose at the end.
