HupSix Explained
HupSix is a dance cardio workout that uses patented gear to music that rocks. It is based on three simple rules of engagement.
1. Step in time to the song
2. Don't clench your hands.
3. Don't think of it as dancing.
Have you seen the movies from the 1940's that make it seem everyone knew how to dance together? Well, they actually did. It seems kinda crazy today, but the basic step for swing dance was easy to pick up right on the spot. That's how the military was able to spread it from a small, elite group at the Savoy Ballroom in NYC to the entire world. The style was naturally athletic. In fact, it was the first dance style done in sneakers.
HupSix has taken this basic step as the foundation of the workouts. This keeps your feet constantly moving in time to the song making for excellent cardio. We've even created a Click Method so you simply step to the clicks, which speeds up the process of learning and comprehension by 93%. If you watch a HupSix live class everyone is moving in unison like The Rockettes. No one is left behind. Thus, the term Hup. The military use it similarly during training to move as a unit Hup 2, 3, 4... In HupSix, we have a six count pattern 1, 3, 5, 6.
Once you have the basic step everything falls into line quickly like turns, twists. You treat the HupSix gear like a partner. In fact, the patented handles are designed so you can learn how to hold them with your fingertips like you would a partner. The bungee provides resistance activating your entire body.
What's the difference between workout drills and dancing? Music. Seriously, that's it. To be good at HupSix you need to practice keeping it simple. Get your body to go where you tell it. When people think they are dancing they get extra or think there is more to it. There isn't. If you must, tell yourself you're at football practice. It will help you HupSix better.
Did you know we have members from The Rolling Stones, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp and more making music for HupSix classes? Yeah, crazy, right?! They give us solid grooves, big energy and backbeats. A great song helps you HupSix better.
