"Have you ever done any 5rhythms? Might help you get some movement/emotion mojo back again..?" No as my dance is a natural part of me as are my emotions..I ve never really had to think unless Im wishing to depict a birds flight or something. Then I ll watch birds to see how they drop,soar etc and work out a routine to show this. But tell me more or should I just google...lolol | |||

What kind of routine are you doing? X"I usually video myself over and over, stop look at it use what works and start again. New one is a comedic Queen of Heart theme to Heads Will Roll set at Mad Hatters Tea Party. Will have some chair acrobatics in there but no floor work unless the pins in my knees/shins are taken out.
