1. All That Jazz
The jazz square is a box step done in four or eight counts. Start with your feet together and your arms down at your sides. Cross step the right foot over the left foot on the first count. Take a step back with your left foot on the second count and step out to the side with your right foot on the third. Finish the jazz square on the fourth count with your feet together and your arms down in the starting position. Your four counts of steps make a square on the floor. Make this move fun with personal touches, like swinging arms and pulsating steps.
2. Change up Your Kicks
Kick ball change your way to cardio action. Face diagonally to the left and give a little kick with your right foot, leg lifted slightly. Step back with the right on the ball of your foot and lift your left leg in a step. Plant your left foot back down, step back on the ball of your right foot again, lifting the left leg again, and take a last step with your left foot. Pivot to the right with a solid step on your right foot and repeat the step diagonally to the right. The kick ball change, kick ball change is a staple Jazzercise Fancy Footwork move.
3. Think Cha-Cha for the Triplet Step
The Triplet step is a quick three-step move that mimics a Cha-Cha step to the side. Think the one, two, three's as you step right, left, right to the right side. Reverse the action without a pause to the left. Step left, right, left in the same Cha-Cha rhythm to the left side. Round out the triplets with natural arm motions. You get a more intense Jazzercise workout the more you get into the step with your feet and arms.
4. Add a Little hip Action
Twist your hips to jazz up the triplet step and do the Turned-out Triplet. The triplet move stays the same, but before you take your first step, twist your hips to the right then step right, left, right. Pivot to the left with your hips turned out toward the left and repeat. As before, get your arms swinging with the steps. Keep the steps flowing from side to side without a break. Follow the beat with a spring in your step.
