Spooky Halloween Dance Party

Leave a comment

Today at the Ballroom, we took the AO name seriously and had a Halloween dance party. All movements were done in cadence with the music. The list of movements were as follows, and the order was totally arbitrary.

Step touch
SSH
Thrillers
Overhead claps with step touch
Hillbilly walkers
Side straddle hops
Jumping lunges
Grave diggers
Imperial walkers
Merkins
LBCs
Squats
Zombie walks
Mountain climbers
Bomb jacks
Shoulder taps
Plank jacks
Speed skaters

As always, I disclaim “anything you say can and will be used against you”. I exercised this statement to throw in some burpees by popular request.

at the call of “aaaand that’s 6 O’clock”, some PAX were surprised that we were already finished.

Playlist available upon request
