Bet on Yourself This Year

Taking this course is an investment in who you want to become. By showing up each week you will be actively re-wiring your brain for movement, rhythm, musicality/creativity, and, most importantly — joy.

If you struggle with…

• moving your body and “looking like a dancer,” this class will inspire you to have fun (and find patience) in reconnecting your brain and body for musical movement.

• anxiety and letting go of control, know that every time you show up and try, you are also rewiring your brain for safety.

• confidence, this class will help you see yourself as a capable and worthy learner who can do anything as long as they don’t give up.

• impatience, this course will also encourage and challenge you to slow down and appreciate the journey.

• feeling limited in by dance rules, this class will inspire you to create your own style through small, creative variations.

And if you’re hopeful of how you can learn, grow, and become your best self — this class is most definitely for you, too.

What if i have to miss a class or two in this cycle?

No worries! There are a few things I do to help minimize getting behind when life hits you unexpectedly:

• WEEKLY RECAP EMAILS - each week I will send you a brief summary of what has been learned

• BASIC STEP VIDEO CLIPS - in the recap emails, I will also include a short video of the basic step for you to practice along from wherever you are

• BONUS LEARNING - in several of these emails, I will include videos and more to help deepen your learning outside of our 90 minutes together.
