I also invite you to keep a journal and write down how you feel after dance practice. If you don’t have one, I prepared a simple downloadable version for you. This way you can take a look at those wonderful feelings in case you just won’t find the motivation to get into it the next time… 🤗

1. What kind of chair should you use:

These are chairs that I use in my classes:

• The first and cheapest option, that you’ll most probably find where you live is Ikea’s NISSE chair:it’s cheap, pretty strong and very uncomfortable – you’ll need to use knee protection with it.
• The second option is Yisk’s VIG: my girls like it but I don’t because it tends to fold with certain moves, plus it has a pretty high back for not-so-tall to reach. It is very strong though.
• The third option is Momax’s Shake: somewhat unstable and not too good quality but I love using it for dance.

Find something similar in your local store if you don’t have the shops I mention.

What to look for when buying a chair:

• You want it light and foldable (to carry around and to be able to store it) but very strong (to stand on it, jump on it…you know, the crazy dancy stuff we do).
• A padded seat is a bonus, it will be softer on your knees, but the surface needs to be smooth so that you can turn on it.
• I like to have a chair with rounded and connected legs, like so:

2. Leg warmers:

You can use them as knee protectors and if you can’t find them in any store (Calzedonia, H&M…), Amazon is always a good option.

3. Yoga blocks:

I use the soft, foam one from Decathlon. It’s cheap and efficient, and it does its job.

4. Yoga mat:

Again, Decathlon, same reasons as written above, I use this one. The most important thing with a mat is a good grip (that it doesn’t slip).

Before you start dancing, please make sure you warm up well. I can’t stress enough how important warming up is! It lessens the risk of injury as it prepares your body for physical activity. The warm-up exercises increase circulation, and body temperature, and bring the heart rate up; the stretching warms the muscles and prepares them for the movements they will be required to carry out during the dance. 

You can use the warm-up I prepared for you or your own.

for the next three weeks, we’re going to do something completely different: we’ll do a floorwork choreography and the song we’re dancing to is Skin by beautiful Rihanna.

Before you start dancing, please make sure:

• you warm up well
• please do some stretching exercises for your legs and hips (you can go back to our stretching routine – week 17)
• wear comfortable clothes in which you will feel good and attractive
• get yourself a pair of knee pads, leg warmers or anything that will protect your knees

I attached a mixed version of our song.

I wish you fun practicing 🤗

A chair can be a great tool, not just for dancing, but also for working out, stretching…

Have fun working out 🤩

and welcome to a new month and new choreography, “Issues”. Last week you already learned basic bachata steps that you’ll be able to implement in our new choreography.

Before you start dancing, please make sure:

• you warm up
• wear comfortable clothes in which you will feel good and attractive
• have a firm and stable chair ready

The original song is this one (by Julia Michaels). But I wanted to turn it into bachata so I mixed the original and bachata version. The song we are dancing to is attached.
