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.
