What is STEP DANCE?

Step aerobics is a form of aerobic power distinguished from other types of aerobic exercise by its use of an elevated platform (the step). The height can be tailored to individual needs by inserting risers under the step. 

Step aerobics classes are offered at many gyms and fitness centers which have a group exercise program. 

Step aerobics was innovated by Gin Miller around 1989. After a knee injury, Gin consulted with an orthopedic doctor, who recommended she strengthen the muscles supporting the knee by stepping up and down on a milk crate and from this she developed the step regimen. 

Step aerobics can also be involved in dancing games, such as Dance Dance Revolution or In the Groove. Step Dance starts from the basic movements, symmetrical, then instructors create choreography some more "dancy" than others. 

The concepts of transition, progression, and the systematic application of the rule of no tap allow students to learn the routine extremely easily. At the same time, using the best motivational techniques available to the instructor the whole group can reach a higher level of satisfaction.

STEP DANCE is normally attended by members that do have an advance experience in freestyle step aerobics, as well as some intermediate members who have their own personal "Groove".
