The DANCE
So how to dance? This video will help get you started, or read on below.
There are no steps to learn or a right way to do it. If you’ve ever done 5 Rhythms, Biodanza or Ecstatic Dance, this will be more familiar. It’s very simply allowing your body to move with the music. It doesn’t have to look like anything special! and it can as well!
“Where there is movement there is relaxation”
Wise words from my Tai Chi teacher and hubby Paul.
Some of the days I have included a video of me dancing (as in day 1 which you’ll be getting shortly!). I have purposely not done this for every day, as I want to give you the chance to explore how your body wants to move rather than copy how I move. We all have unique bodies after all.
You might find also if your body wants to move differently on different days, depending in your mood, and whatever else is going in for you. Trust your body, and a 20% stretch out of the comfort zone is also highly recommended 🙂
The PLAY
Here are small bite-sized moments and fun experiences to give a fresh perspective, or a new way of looking at things. I like to think of them as playful meditations. Something you can take with you throughout the day and let your play experiences percolate through your consciousness throughout the day, or during your sleep (depending when you dance & play!)
Get Ready!
I love to use Spotify (it takes less than a minute to set up). You can easily create playlists and save each track of the day, so you can easily listen again.
I’ve also added youtube links to the tracks where possible, so you can choose what’s easier for you (The track length may differ from the spotify version, and sound quality is often less good).
Set up Spotify (It’s free)
It’s really easy to set up a spotify account (If you already have an account you’re good to go!) Spotify is an online service that you can listen to tonnes of music via your web browser for free (there is a paid options without ads I think). I recommend choosing a separate username and password (rather than signing up with facebook)
Click on the button below to sign up.
Now you’re all set. Shortly (if it’s not there already!) you will receive an email with a link and password to Day 1 where treats await. You will get your play activity and the dance track of the day…
Create Community
Each day, at the bottom of the page there is the chance to share your experiences, comment on other people’s experience and join in to create a fun, safe and playful space to learn from and support each other. I also read the comments and often give personal feedback so it’s a great way to connect.
Get Started
I can’t wait to hear about your experiences. Looking forward to meet you soon when you receive your email with details of day 1. (Check your inbox. It should follow very soon after your welcome message)
See you soon for your first day of the Dance & Play Experience!
