Remember to go at your own pace. As long as you are subscribed you can watch the videos as many times as you want so there is no rush. Go at the pace best for you body and mind. You get to set and decide that.
This posts contains the master list of all tutorials and practice videos, warm up videos etc, choreography videos etc So You can find links to all of them in one place by just scrolling down. This list is updated and reposted at the start of every month.
A little glossary of terms to help you navigate this master list!
Tutorials are the videos where the movements are broken down in detail. They are slow paced and thorough.
Practice videos are where we take what we learned in the tutorials and put them to practice. No breakdown, just moving our bodies to the music.
Warm up videos are just fun follow along videos that are meant to warm you up. Not dance technique oriented, just moving our bodies and noodling around.
Extended practice videos are long practice videos, 20 to 30 minutes in length. They are continuous dancing for an extended length of time. They are to be done once all of the tutorials 1 through to 10 have been completed and thei corresponding shorter practice videos.
Combination/Drill videos are videos where we have a specific combination of movements that we repeatedly do in a specific order for 5 to 10 minutes. These are to help develop muscle memory and moving through movements. These should be done after you have done tutorials 1 through to 10 and their corresponding practice videos.
Choreography Videos, section breakdowns, and practice videos of combined sections are videos where we breakdown sections of a Choreography. Practice videos of sections combined are where we practice putting the previous sections all together. To be done once all the tutorials, practice videos, combo videos etc have been done.
