Hi! I gotta say, after years and years of trying to figure out the choo choo, I think the down choo choo might be easier. I think it's because when you quickly step down, you have no floor resistance, so it doesn't end up just staying in the feet and legs, and the hips don't move when you're doing the up choo choo (my problem). We can do quick steps on tip-toe and our hips stay level. But when you lack that resistance, your hips naturally have to move with the foot fall in either a ""waddle or the hip-downs. It would be interesting to try this out more.

Yes! More choo choo videos! I think they're great for cardio and endurance.

Yay! The choo choo shimmy! It's a move that isn't really touched on a lot by some dancers I think. I love it, a great work out and looks so awesome.

Probably. I've been working on several choreos this past year. It would be fun to try them out

Oh no! I can't believe I missed this. I did not know it was live where you could see us also following along. Next time, I'll try to be there. Happy Thanksgiving!

How long can the videos be? And can we send them in if we don't have social media? Like a youtube link?

love the ab and upper body workouts! keep them coming please! 😆

A way this helped was to think that this is an Arabic step without the step, the undulation part. At a point I did it on releve and it clicked. Then I did it better flat footed.
