<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Welcome to Day 19<br>WYN: your map, good sound, a little bit of space and a deep breath</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Today is an awesome day!  We are getting closer to our final goal of building a masterpiece.  Again, do not worry if this is a lot and you are barely following what I am saying: I want you to try and listen to the song again by yourself and find the adjectives YOU feel are appropriate for the sounds YOU are hearing, it might be way different than what I did.  And for my master music workers, I am expecting to see that you have pushed yourself to new heights, using a different song, sounds you would not hit in your “standard” dancing and movement that are new to you.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Thank you for being willing to push yourself so far, you’ve all already have made giant steps!<br></span><br></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Welcome to Day 20<br>WYN: a weird object, as always, and an open mind</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Good day movement lovers!  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;">I hope this video finds you in a good place and if not, that it will bring you to one.  Can you believe we are almost done with the challenge: you are finishing the third week today.  We are exploring some basic contrasts today, and when I say basics, it doesn’t mean easy, it means some contrasts that you should know and that are going to help you with your dancing.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>We all have ways of moving that feel more natural to us: we tend to be fluid or sharp, we look like we are stomping or floating as we are walking.  And it can change throughout the day, depending on your mood, your level of energy, etc… but we still have preferences.  Whatever they are, make them your strengths and work on the rest enough that they are not your weakness.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>I wish you the freedom to enjoy playing outside of your comfort zone.<br></span><br></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Welcome to day 21!<br></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;">WYN: ears, note taking things, sunshine or rain with a hot chocolate</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Join us for the third live of the challenge with the amazing Alyssa Marie Glanville.  She has been an inspiration for me when we were on the road and I was just exhausted and she kept exploring movement, so I know she can be one for you too.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;">The recording will stay on the group, so do not worry if you miss it, you will be able to catch it later.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Have a good rest day!<br></span><br><br></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Welcome to Day 22<br>WYN: a long space… literally, if you have a hallway, corridor where you can move down line for a long time, it will be perfect.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>I like keeping the technique days short.  First because that is what we hear and talk about the most at all times and second, because there are lots of separate videos you can find on the platform if you want to dive deeper into it, get more information and practice the different pieces.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Having your walks clean would help you feel free in today’s drill, but if there are not, do not focus on them too much: your brain will be split between two things and that never tends to work well.  Focus on what is happening today and go back to your walks after if need be.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Happy last week!<br></span><br></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Welcome to Day 23<br>WYN: towel, water, maybe a mat, a chair or a couch, something you can use as a weight (cans, bottles of water, big bag of rice, books…)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Yihaaaaaa!!!!! (That is the French Canadian version of  Yee-haw!  I promise.)  We will do another strong workout today, but oh so short!   I know it seems like a lot when we start it, but I know you can do it, it is the last week to give yourself a chance to do this type of training and like it.  Try and savor it.  Try and love the sweat.  And if you don’t, well, think of how stronger your legs will be and how easy your walks, rolling actions and footwork will become after this.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Your object for the day will be whatever you used as a weight.  Bonus points for making me laugh. 😉<br></span><br></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal;">Welcome to Day 24<br>WYN: your torso… if you have one</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>I tried to make the intro of this video funny and… I can’t understand anything I am saying myself.  Lolllll!  So do not worry: it is not you, it is me.  Really.  😉  These drills are going to be pretty standard for most of you.  I still want to see you pushing the envelop and seeing how far you can go with it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><br>Happy Wednesday everybody!<br></span><br></p>
