Dance Challenge_New Year

For the release of my song, New Year, I wanted to do something different than I’ve done in the past. This is a dance-pop song, so it seemed only natural to create a dance challenge to go along with it. I used to dance a lot in high school, but life took over and I’ve literally only danced a few times in the last 30 years. This was a great way to reconnect to parts of myself that have been neglected for far too long. Dance, or movement in general, is a great way to connect to your body. So much of life is spent in the head! It’s important to include the body in life, and to connect the two.

Below, I’ve included the challenge routine I created and a tutorial showing the steps slowly. Even if it’s past new year’s day, you can still try the challenge just for fun! But, of course, don’t do any moves that you know can cause you problems. As a certified yin yoga instructor, I always caution people to listen to their bodies and be accountable for their choices of what they participate in. This dance challenge is no exception.
