Join us at noon Vancouver time this Sunday Dec 20th for 15 minutes of non-stop FOOT FEST! Wear appropriate shoes/socks and be prepared to work those feet! Use the Momentum Coaching Call Zoom link. The session will be recorded, emailed to you afterward, and uploaded to the website. :)

1. The Bootcamp is included for free as a perk of your Momentum membership. You do not need to register by the deadline - we will be sending you an email in a few weeks inviting you to "opt-in" if you want to. We're excited to welcome back returning Bootcampers looking to go for another ride and discover what you might have missed the first time!

2. Imagine if more of your community members could have the same experience you did last spring/summer?  
As Simone said, "It would definitely be helpful to have more local and active (Swing Literacy-trained) partners and AB's to practice with!" 

The deadline for your friends to register for Bootcamp is NOVEMBER 30, so if you have friends that you wish had taken the Bootcamp, now's the time to reach out! Here's the link you can send in a separate email: https://www.swingliteracy.com/dancer-development-program-bootcamp/

3. While you are thinking about telling your friends what they can expect, I should mention a few changes we're making to make it even better:

• They get access starting December 1st, so they can get a head start on the Theory Module now while they wait for Bootcamp to start in January
• The Theory Module is slowly being reconstructed into smaller Units and Lessons so it will look a little more like the Momentum website. (no long scrolling, yay!)
• We have a special upgrade for Teachers: weekly debrief sessions to coach teachers on how to implement the Bootcamp material with their students. You can purchase the Teacher Upgrade here anytime between now and December 31st (as this is an add-on that is not included in the regular Bootcamp). Please don't share this link as the upgrade option is only for Momentum members and people who purchase the Bootcamp.
• Your non-Momentum friends from Bootcamp get the special alumni 50% discount, which they should already have gotten an email about.
  
  4. We hope you enjoyed the SpinAbility Challenge! Once the Bootcamp launch dies down, we will be uploading the videos to the website sometime next week. Thank you for your patience with this added perk. In the meantime, we are excited to see your best/worst SpinAbility theme practice videos posted in the Momentum group!

Good news! Myles has created playlists of royalty-free (Epidemic Sound) music inside of Spotify, so you can use the same platform you are already used to.

Remember to use these royalty-free songs (from our Epidemic Sound license) whenever you post your videos, so you can avoid having issues with the music playback and we can avoid getting penalized by the music companies.

We gave music playlists its own page in this website, which you can find linked on the  "Practice Pods" page. Here's a direct link so you can check it out: https://www.swingliteracy.com/momentum/practice-pods/music-playlists/

Join us at noon Vancouver time this Sunday Nov 15th for 15 minutes of non-stop groovin! Use the Momentum Coaching Call Zoom link. The session will be recorded, emailed to you afterward, and uploaded to the website. :)

Finally the much-anticipated SpinAbility theme is OPEN! You can find on the dashboard this month, or where it will be stored permanently in the Personal Movement Skills training track.

Want to get more fluidity and articulation in your torso movement? The Westie Workout for October focuses on Body Waves and Rolls. You can check it out in the Westie Workout area of the Library!

Also, Gabriel helps us build strength and stability needed for improving balance for spins and turns! Check out his latest tutorial in the Conditioning track! We HIGHLY recommend starting this now to prepare for next month's theme.... ;)

There are several members who have access to a partner and are eager to get coaching on how to apply all the juicy Partnership Movement Skills from the Theory Module. So on Sunday, October 25, we're going to focus on how to implement Rhythmic Agility movements while dancing with a partner.

AND.... you can bring any WCS partner you want with you (even non-members). 

• If you have a WCS partner/dummy, awesome, bring them and arrange to have your camera on.
• If you don't have a partner, take advantage of observing how we coach your peers to practice their partnership FMS's with any partner.
