My writings involve movement descriptions taken from my classroom.  I am trying to bring the reader into a dance classroom to catch a glimpse of movement education.

“We will start with an inhaling breath. On the exhale, bring both knees to the chest. Feel the flexion in your hip sockets as you begin to rock side to side. Continue to breathe as you sense the sacrum making contact with the floor. On the next inhale, stretch your arms and legs away from each other.  Feel the full extension through the body. Imagine that there is no endpoint to the stretch. Start to feel the energy emanating from your center to the limbs. Return to the flexed position on your back. Begin to feel the music support your movement. Listen to the tone and texture of the music as you slowly extend for the next sixteen counts. Now, repeat this pattern of flexion and extension on your own time. What does it feel like to extend without an endpoint? Allow the mind to focus on the breath. The breath connects the mind and the body. Reach out and feel alive!”
