Sorry I’m a day late, but I’ve got a new practice video for you!
Today’s focus is traveling movements with hip accents. The video starts with a slow, in-place section where we practice our figure 8s, undulations and hip circles.
As always, this video is an improvisation so it also gives you a feeling for responding naturally to the music.
Email readers can view the video here.

I’m so excited to have a new “Dance With Me Video” for you to practice with. This is a short two minute, beginner level improvisation which focuses on hip circles.
Email readers can see the video here.
This is the third video I’ve made in my Dance With Me series. The full playlist is here. They are all quick, you can do them in any order and/or repeat if you want to dance longer. These are an excellent way to practice basic moves while getting the hang of improvisation!
Please let me know if there are any movements or topics you’d like to see in a future Dance With Me video. And be sure to sign up for my monthly Newsletter to stay up-to-date on classes, shows and more educational videos.
Happy Dancing!

If you have taken an online class with me this past year, you are very familiar with this gold backdrop :). I really love it. But I honestly cannot find the words to express how excited I am to be able to step away from it and teach in person again. I’ve missed dancing with you all SO MUCH, and I can’t wait to get back into the studio. Thank you to everyone who has hung in there and kept dancing through all the technological challenges! I am so grateful that we’ve been able to keep it going.

SEE YOU SOON!!
