DDT Master list and schedule for June!!! Please read!!

Hello and Welcome!
Swoon it is June! It does not feel much like summer though. It has been unseasonably cold, rainy and damp here :(
The attached pic is from recent workshops in Syracuse that were so much fun. Thankful for everyone that was able to come out and participate ❤😁💃

If you are new here welcome! I hope you enjoy practicing and dancing with me. Here you can find a list below of all previous Dance Drills and Thrills posts in order all in one place so it's easier to navigate.
You can watch each video as many times as you want to and/or need to.

If you are a repeat DDTer thank you so much for coming back. Hope you and enjoying yourself.

Remember you can request practice video themes!! More Shimmies? More layering? More level changes? Let me know!

These drills will sometimes involve hand weights, medicine ball weight, footwork, and level changes.

You do NOT have to add these elements if you do not wish to or if you are not physically in a position to handle them right now. You can absolutely follow along at your pace and not use the weights or do the floor work or level changes. You can do the same moves standing. Listen to your body and set your own pace that is right for your body.

If you are going to follow along with the floor work and floor postures please invest in knee pads and/or a yoga mat
It looks like the ones I currently use are out of stock or discontinued but these here look similar. https://www.dancewearcentre.com/products/eurotard-994-stretch-cushioned-knee-pads?variant=42809921283

**Of course You can use whatever ones you want. The important thing is that the knees are protected.

There are some cool down stretch videos as well if you would like a little stretching guide and want to see some of my favorite stretches.

I will try to stick to this but I live in a rural area and there is a direct connection between the weather and the quality of my internet speed and connection lol. So sometimes I may be a day or two early or late depending on weather conditions and video upload times. Thank you for your understanding.
DDT #17 is currently still uploading as I type this. It's pouring rain and the video is over 20 minutes in length in 1080 HD soooo it is taking its sweet time. As soon as it is done I will post it. In the meantime there are all of these below!

If you want to get the most out of this, I recommend keeping a note book. Write down the drill video number before you start and make a note after for yourself how you felt during and after. What did it work for you? Did you struggle with it in certain areas? How does your body feel from it the the next day? This will help you to pin point areas and know how often to do or revisit a drill so you get the most out of these.

Don't do more than you can before you are ready!
It's okay if you ran out of steam halfway through or can't complete the level changes or whatever struggles you may be having. Work through the struggles if you have any. Don't overdo it. Set goals. Do just 1 or 2 songs to start and work your way to 3 if needed. Only take a movement as far and/or as fast as you can without losing too much quality of movement. Drills/practices are not a competition but a rather a tool for growth. Use them wisely and safely and go at your pace:) Seek to Find the balance of pushing yourself without over extending yourself. ❤

Happy dancing to you💃💃Thank you again for being here ❤
