  • Today we are going to work on CADENCY.
  • CADENCY refers to the rhythm and variation in pitch that you demonstrate.
  • This is an important skill to help with footwork, pace and timing of techniques.

Here are the three ways that we are going to improve your CADENCY today:

1. Have CADENCY with stepping. 2. Have CADENCY with takeoffs. 3. Have CADENCY with kicking.
Skill-Building Drills – 25 Minutes

Stop & Wheel:

Have the students start on one end of the mat when the instructor says “GO” the students will run across the mat, when the instructor yells “STOP” the students will try and do a cartwheel as fast as possible. If they take to many steps after stop or mess up the cartwheel they must restart. 1st to reach other side wins!

Call it Out:

Students will listen for the instructor to call numbers the instructor will only use 1 or 2, the numbers signify how many feet you should take off with. 1= Cheat/Swing 2= Pop
