To be honest, I really really love the new release. I love teaching the mambo extravaganza and jumping off the stage and mambo everywhere with the participants it give me that connection and make them feel that i am still one of them not some scary crazy lady on the stage telling them what to do.
I also love the Cardio Funk Block, It has some highs and lows in it and i love going wild when the music tells you too. plus it is high energy and make the participants feel like they are working like in a normal class. Because i think (at our club at least) that there is this persona about body jam that you dont work as hard as say combat or rpm. So they tend to choose those kinda classes over BJ.
I hated the recovery, the foot work is really complicated, and i song is pretty dodgy. But I NEVER let that be expressed to the participants when im teaching, i teach with as much energy as the rest because some people have different tastes. And really being an instructor is all baout pleasing the participants and I think it is unprofessional if you do not like something and you let that show in your teaching because the particpants start to dislike it too because it may not be as fun. and body Jam should be fun!
The house block is okay, I do not hate it, but i like 49's house block batter. But I love building that climax with it, because there are bits of music that lets you do that with it. especially with the scoop.
I have had alot of feedback from the members saying they do not like the music that much, but mostly from the older ones, all the younger people love the music so it is kinda like music taste. Most of them come tho to have fun and just relax and as long as im out thee dong my thing properly then they will come back no matter what i play.
