The CEAT method for running a good a dance-fitness class

The CEAT technique, developed by Ravi Sandhu, is a four-step method for guiding participants through exercise movements in dance fitness classes. The acronym CEAT stands for Cue, Escalate, Adapt, and Transition.

• Cueing involves using verbal and visual cues to indicate what movement is coming next, helping participants prepare and stay synchronized.
• Escalation is the process of increasing the intensity of the movement, particularly during the chorus of a song.
• Adaptation involves the trainer observing the class and modifying the intensity levels to cater to different fitness levels.
• Transition refers to changing the movement in a thoughtful and predictable manner, often using a holding step like marching on the spot.

The CEAT technique aims to create a seamless and enjoyable workout experience for participants of all levels.
