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.

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.

It's confirmed! We have arranged for Momentum members to get free, exclusive access to a special Rhythmic Agility workshop with Robert Royston, LIVE on Monday October 26!

Hot Seat Coaching is when we coach one member LIVE on the call for 15-20min (ish), usually on how they can improve or solve some struggle on the theme of the month. We coach all the members observing how to leverage the feedback we provide for their own dancing.

We're going to start offering these to Momentum members who have achieved 30 credits, as a reward for gaining momentum in Momentum! 

Here's how to book:

• Starting this week, when you pass the 30-credit mark in Momentum you get placed on the Hot Seat Coaching waiting list.
• Check your account page to see how many credits you have. Once you have at least 30 credits, fill out the form here to signup and state your preferred days.
• You will be sent an email this week to confirm your time slot. Time slots will be given out first come, first serve and we have at least 8 time slots for this month.
