Track 1 warms us up at level 11 (it only goes up to
10, remember) with GUITARS! How often do we have
guitars in Jam? Not often, says Gandalf – so enjoy that
humongo drop.

Then Track 2 is an Unforgettable remix of that


Rap/Moombah/Reggaeton heater you have heard on
the radio all year. Last pun of the sizzler, I promise.

Big Illy Philly takes you through even more Dancehall


with the classic jam We Be Burnin’, then our HIP HOP
block this release is a beautiful mash of modern, sharp,
Salsa bounce, and twerky twerk. Grrrrrrrr is huge,
Don’t Quit will have you singing your way through the

from what you’re used to. Questions takes it back to
radio land, before Wobble & Jiggle brings the house

Sassy McSass Pants floats us through the Recovery


like your whole body is made out of lollipop, before
the HUGE sounds of JAMSTERDAM take over.
Annihilate sounds exactly how it… ummmm… sounds.
Fracture is slow and beautiful for the learning phase
of the trickiest combo, then Scream lets you put it all
together while your class participates in a non-stop…
crap, sorry I know I said no more puns, but it’s me, and
well, here goes…. SCREAM.

The last two tracks of the JAMSTERDAM block are


designed for space – for your class to relax and sink
into the journey which perfect musical interpretation
combined with dance can create. Keep your voice to a
minimum and let the textural contrast take over.

There is so much in this new release to keep your class


coming back for more. Remember, you don’t have to
teach the full release at once – start with a block, or
even a routine, and let the new choreography grow
organically through your class till everyone is an addict.
