Move choreography LIVE for International Dance Day
For International Dance Day on April 25th I invite you to skate, dance or just move with this choreography. There are elements that repeat and elements that don't, allowing folks with different skill levels to join in. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident to take up space and feel good through movement.
