Dance to This

For this piece of music, we'll experiment with weight and grounding.

Stand and breathe deeply.  Imagine the breath comes up through your feet and exits the same way.

Feel the top part of the body hang heavy.  Arms, shoulders, chest, head...all heavy.  Leave them heavy for the whole piece. This does not mean that they don't move but just that they have a weight that creates momentum and always takes them back to this hanging down.

Focus your work in the lower body.

Dear Christine,
Thank you for your exhaustive and enquiring research into all the pieces of music you have posted here, under the series of 'Move to this'.

I have so enjoyed the diversity of the peices that you have brought to me, just so sad I live so far away, if i lived near you how I would love to be able to attend your classes.

How lovely though for the people that do, I think you provide a very much needed service, to think of the joy you help your students find, is and must be astounding.

So here's a Hurrah! for you all the way from the UK.
