Connecting Moves?

In a class like Jen mentioned where you do a lot of plyometrics, jumping jacks, etc. how do your instructors connect the moves?

the class i used to take like that it was basically "do this for 3 minutes" ... "ok, time's up, do that for 3 minutes"
there was no attempt to connect the moves. if you don't want people just stopping and standing still in between, you can have them always come back to a basic move to keep their heartrate up, like i do in cardio kickboxing with "bob and weave" or "boxer's shuffle". maybe like a "jog-in-place?"
in the class i took, the instructor didn't do the activity for the whole time. he'd show us what to do and then just "coach" - he wasn't like "woohoo,"
it's always harder to teach the class than to take it so if you design a class that is as hard as one you'd like to take, you will always be quite out of breath while teaching it. i think you do get somewhat better at speaking with training, but it's like any other kind of training - if you only teach once a week (like i do) it's really not enough to get a training effect. running while talking to a running partner or singing to yourself would probably help.
don't forget you don't have to do all the intervals! make yourself NOT do all of them.
