MC Madness and Video love

I am feeling deeply thankful and inspired today, the MC in Würselen yesterday was pure magic (with magical pants! :)) A huge thank you goes out to all brave participants, and a special shout-out to our beautiful solo dancers Nephélé, Marlène and Sonja.

The topics of this edition included working from the core, integrating arm and hand movements, working with lines and expression, improvisations tips and 'singing with your hips'. I am very curious to see what the next MC will bring! A new Masterclass is planned for Friday, 7th of March, go to the MC page for details and enrollment if you'd like to join us next edition.
  

The Magical Crazy pants, gifted to me by miss Bozenka herself at Mediterranean Dance Lab, who had been gifted them by miss Shakira (!) at one of her tours. As some of you might know, my dance adventures started in the early nineties by seeing 'that' video, for which Bozenka had taught Shakira her bd-inspired moves :) Ten years later, here we are. My extreme dance legacy pants. <3

As promised, here are the inspirational videos that were mentioned during the MC
