We’ll start with a check in ‘how we feeling today’ ‘what would we like to learn’ what song shall we learn a dance too? (this may be done in advance if necessary). Checking in is just as important as moving, I aim to ensure mental well-being is being acknowledged as its highly important during a time of isolation!
I’ll then move onto a warm-up
Learn choreography- at least two different dance styles, adding on new moves each week
The individual is invited to develop their own choreographic skills by inventing their own moves to add into the dance
