 Step Class Outline 

The following outline is the one used in our Step to Radio Play workshop.  In most clubs each class is alotted one hour.  So classes should be planned to fit in to a 52 - 55 minute slot, to allow time for the classes before and after to empty in and out.  The step outline below is made up of 12 songs.  Each song is 4 - 5 minutes long.
