New bonus workshop waiting for you!

March 21st we taught a special guest workshop for Robert Royston's Sunday Science called Spatial Agility and Slot Improvisation. This 2-hour interactive workshop is full of drills that are in alignment with what you are doing in Bootcamp right now, and will also help with applying to your Styling Flow projects. 

As Momentum members, you get exclusive access to this workshop! It lives on the Specialty Workshop page, which is under the Recordings tab in the Library. Here's a direct link

Blues Grooves workshop April 10

GOOD NEWS: As a Momentum member, you get this perk for FREE! You don't have to register - we'll send you the link.
In the meantime, you can RSVP as "going" on this Facebook event page to help spread the word.
Your friends can register for $20 using this link, which has all the details. Please share this link: https://www.swingliteracy.com/blues-grooves-workshop

New highlighted glossary words

Have you noticed (in the themes and DDP) some underlined words have little pop-up definitions when you hover your mouse over them? That's a new feature we're trying out to see if you like it! 

We're hoping this integrated glossary will help make it even easier to understand new words and terms and make your Swing Literacy experience even smoother. 

Clicking on the pop-up will take you to a new searchable Glossary page. Got any words or terms you would like to see us add here? Send us an email with your requests.

Enjoy!

Emerging with Momentum

Social dancing is on the horizon (some further than others, but at least there is an end in sight!) We are excited for what this means for Momentum... in order to plan ahead, we'd like to check in with you to hear your needs and preferences and so you can help us design how Momentum evolves as the world opens up!
To sweeten the deal... you can earn 5 CREDITS just for filling it out!

Here's the link to the short Emerging with Momentum survey

Westie Workout #8

Westie Workout #8
Theme: Travelling combos. In this 20-minute workout, we take common WCS-worthy footwork and turning variations and combine them into 12 8- count combos that travel across the floor for repetition. This might be addictive! Now available under Recordings in the Library.

Unlock Your Contrabody with Coach Gabriel
Contrabody is not just a position - it's an action that provides the mechanical drive for "every step you take, every move you make...". This month, Coach Gabriel guides you through exercises for improving your mid-back mobility so you can move more efficiently and effortlessly. Now available in the Conditioning training track.

New theme: Blues Appreciation!

We hope you are as excited about this theme as we are! There are a variety of activities to watch, listen to, read, write, and practice to give you a well-rounded boost to your Blues WCS.

PLUS we have 3 amazing guest speakers on the agenda to give you some diverse and authentic perspectives! The first one is coming up THIS SUNDAY:

Blues Musician BROTHER YUSEF will be talking about his personal experience with the history and culture of Blues, and playing a few examples LIVE on his guitar!

More speakers will be announced later. Can't wait!


Connection Games: Partner TaiChi added to Coaching Calls

Ha ha ha remember that time Tessa forgot to record Coach Gabriel's awesome Partner TaiChi workshop to supplement your Styling Flow in partnership?

He was kind enough to re-film a condensed version for us, which is now available on the Coaching Calls page. 

Thanks Coach Gabriel! Enjoy this fun partnering clinic!
