http://turnstep.com/

since even before i started teaching, www.turnstep.com has been a source for instructors to share choreography for not just step, but also hi/lo, boot camp, cycle, kickboxing, etc etc etc. it has it's pros and cons, but is still something to always keep bookmarked

PROS:
  • has a library of all step moves and what they are called. this is important, because then a participant can go anywhere in the world and take a step class because the V step will always look like a V step and a turn step will always look like a turn step. so...know what step moves are called so if you ever have to teach a class, your participants can follow you with ease
  • has a huge variety of class formats to pick and choose from
  • is still being updated - maybe not as often, but considering it's been around for longer than 20 years (and you can tell by the way the design hasn't changed in over that long!) that's pretty amazing.
  • do you have a fave combo you want to share? you CAN!
CONS:
  • sometimes, the way people write their choreography is UNCLEAR and just a OMG??? moment. so...you cannot expect to just write some choreo down and think you can teach it in the next 30 min. you really do have to practice it to make sure it's appropriate, flows correctly and is understandable
  • personally i wish the creators would have kept up with it more and progressed it to include not only step moves, but moves and examples in other formats. and i wish they would have changed the color of the page years ago as well...but it's functional!
