This.
And Misty's older DVDs are waaaaaay more choreographed than where she's at now. But THEGROOVE still isn't a freeform dance - we have structure, it's just simple structure.

Umm, to Clarify ... ?

Like Bollywood and bhangra fitness, that workshop included a little (but Western!) acting/improvisational material (including contact improv-) ... not for the anti-exhibitionist/or borderline hypersensitive amongst us ... I have orthopedic problems, and the facilitator/workshop leader allowed me to do the workshop while wearing shoes with custom-designed orthotics inside the shoes ...

Not sure what to make of the sound of the workshop. Acting/improv while dancing? There are definitely a few songs I use that require a bit of "acting" ("strike a pose, take a martini glass, take a sip, turn your head, give me a great big ahhhhhhhh"), and I use those to loosen people up (really!) so that being that silly then allows them to be more relaxed when we go into a full on dance song. And I'm always surprised at how the really quiet/introverted types (and I say this as an introvert; I completely let go when I GROOVE though) break out when we do the silly, crazy songs. I let people decide on their own footwear (if there's no right or wrong in GROOVING, then there's no right or wrong in footwear, as long as it feels good in your body). Most are in bare feet, but there are some with feet issues (PF and the like) who prefer shoes. As long as they're happy, I don't care!

I like the kaffee klatsch model of group fitness, better than any other ... it's not to be found on the East Coast of U.S. much ...

I just finished doing the latest video. OMG it was soooo good! So much better than NIA and harder too. I do hate having to buy them one at a time for $5, but so worth it right now. I did ask her about adding world heat to the video library. We'll see.

The videos now all have new names (and are now all $15, whereas before some were $5). Does anyone know which one is which?
