Hi Everyone, to warm us up on a frosty morning we will dance the EXPRESS Routine on Friday 9:30am Snells Beach Community Centre. This is a Play-a-Weight class with our focus on emotional expression. Tuning into any emotions we become aware of (eg curiosity, frustration, appreciation or joy) giving them room to bubble up, express and release. Cheers Debbie XX

This weekend I’ve been learning more of the new routine CHEMISTRY to share with you on Monday 9:30am Snells Beach Community Centre. This routine is all about our bones and how they feel and move. We use X-Ray vision to look at our bones and the shapes they make. Tuesday 9:15am Matakana Hall we are doing a play-a-weight class using optional light hand weights to the EXPRESS Routine.
And thanks Elle for recommending the French Movie “Colours of Time” I saw it last night and it is one of the best films I have seen. 💕
