March Dance Drills & Thrills Updated Master List of Classes
🕑 Added 2021-03-20 17:52:21 +0000 UTCWELCOME!!
It is almost Spring here in Canada (finally!).
In addition to updating the Masterlists here I also have an announcement which the pics probably gave away lol.
I redecorated!
Also, 2020 had one last big surprise for me, I am pregnant and due mid August! In the above picture I was in my 18th week but as I post this I am now in my 19th week (my internet was not willing to help me get it posted during the 18th week lol π
). The Ultrasound picture of my little one is from 12 weeks. Next one is at 20 weeks.
I had a really, really rough time up until about 18 weeks but things seem to be turning a corner finally (fingers crossed the worst is now over)! Pregnancy is hard. Moms you deserve so much praise and appreciation.
Also holding space for any parents out there who are trying to conceive and/or dealing with loss. Sending you much love. β€
I have every intention keep dancing for as long through this as I am able (I have been cleared by my health care providers that it is safe for me and baby).
Hoping to get the next batch of videos up in the coming week so as long as the internet will allow for it. We will be going over the introductory basics of "bubbling" since it was one of the most requested topics :)
In the meantime I encourage you to review your omis (which is what the last batch of videos covered) in effort to prep for learning to "bubble". :) You will find the links to them at thr bottom of this post.
I hope everyone is safe and well and managing as best they can in season 2 of Covid.
Thank you so much for choosing to learn and dance with me. β€
Below is our updated Masterlist where you will find all the Dance Drills & Thrills video links in chronological order.
Remember you can request practice video themes!! More Shimmies? More layering? More level changes? Need something broken down?
Let me know!
These drills will sometimes involve hand weights, medicine ball weight, floorwork, and level changes.
You do NOT have to add these elements of 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.
To get the most out of these I do recommend keeping a notebook. Record what drill you did, what it focusing on and how much you want to work on that topic. This will help you to know what you have been focusing on and to track improvement depending on your individual goals:)
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
**You can use whatever ones you want. The important thing is that the knees are protected.
Need a new veil or want one like the ones I use in my Drills. Want to support a small business? Check out https://www.etsy.com/shop/SilksByCelestina
(Not sponsored. I genuinely purchase and love her veils and work).
*you can use any veil. I typically use a 3 yard 5mm ultra light silk veil.
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. (cool down video links are after the DDT video links).

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. β€
Happy dancing to youππThank you again for being here β€
