As you enter to step classes, you're going to see many variations of repeaters. Remember, a repeater is 3 movements to take it to 8 counts. I'm going to show you one variation of a repeater I like to use in my class. I call it a repeater with a cha cha down, so it adds a little rhythm change. It adds a little bit of fun factor to the step. If you're uncomfortable with any of the repeaters, the variations of repeaters, you can just do what we call the basic repeater. This is a knee cha cha down knee lift and switch. Knee, 1, 2, 3, knee, changes side, 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. You can see the variation is not just a straight 8 count. It has that da, da, da, 3 and 4. 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The speed that you would see in class is pretty much 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. It's a little quicker, so you're doing the right thing by learning this on a slow tempo. When you get to class you can speed it up, add a kick, or lift. 1, 2, 3, a side lift, adding your own spirit or excitement to each of the steps.
