Opening question: What is an interesting class or seminar that you have taken (during COVID or otherwise)?
This is an exercise video incorporating the different movements that we covered. Start with 6 Don’s and then do the movement while saying “SORE!” (Unfortunately you can’t hear me on the video.) Each movement is done 4 times. I did it over a funk track to make it more fun. Hopefully it’s fun.

WINDMILL (scroll down to practice this one some more)
“PAT” (In - Out. Point forward and then open your arms. The picture has a horizontal line with arrows going in either direction. I believe this was Pat’s! Correct me if I’m wrong.)
“REBECCA” (The Goose. Bachi tips towards your mouth and then point diagonally with both arms together. A goose call.)
“CATHY” (Two Hands Meeting. Point one arm to the side and bring your other hand to meet it. Alternate sides.)
These are all amazing and creative moves!
