Great Moves: Step Construction
Marcus IrwinYear Released: 1998
Categories: Step Aerobics
Step Construction is a perfect title for this tape - Marcus takes each of the moves and builds slowly to a point where they're more and more complex. The Great Moves series is designed to show instructors new moves, so the warm up and cool down are relatively brief. The overall tape is a quick 42 minutes, with about 38 minutes of step. I was thinking it might be a intermediate in intensity, until we got to "7 knees". That really turns things up a notch, so I'll rate it intermediate/advance (same as Collage). The choreography is complex, but the building process is such that it's easy to keep up. What really makes this tape stand out is Marcus. He's fun, perky-but-not-annoying, and has a self-effacing kind of humor. I'd love to see more tapes from this guy! Other reviews have mentioned that the music gets off of from the steps at one point, but it's really pretty unobtrusive.
Instructor Comments:
Personality plus! His cueing is great, he builds
the steps slowly so it's easy to catch on, and his accent is adorable!
