Next is our repeater step. The repeater is a succession of steps. We start with a lift step, our basic lift step, moving to the corner. We're going to add in a rhythm, which is 3 knee lifts. 1, 2, 3, step down, 1, 2, 3. That's your basic 8 count repeater. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Normally you do a repeater on each side when you begin your combinations. Another variation of the repeater might be a 5 counts knee lift. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. That's 5 knee lifts. 11, 12. I have to make it 16 counts, so I add a basic step in the center. It moves to the other lead foot. That's 5 lift steps, down to the floor, and one basic to make 16 counts. We're now moving to our 16 combinations. Another repeater you may see is a 2 lift repeater. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. To review, 3 lift repeater. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. A 5 count repeater. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Add a basic step or a 2 lift repeater. Double knee lift with 4 marches on the floor, double knee lift, and 4 marches on the floor.
