Hi! Ten weeks ago, we started a small experiment. No giant transformation promises. Just ten ideas, ten missions and ten chances to explore the RoleRotation world a little more deeply. For the final week, we want you to choose what comes next. Write three goals: One technical goal Make it observable. “Complete my weight transfers” …

Hi! Have you ever watched a recording of yourself and thought: “I know something is wrong. I just can’t tell what it is.” Then you watch it again, dislike twelve more things and leave with absolutely no idea what to practise. Try watching the same recording three times: First viewing: Timing Are you moving with …

Hi! Sometimes we don’t begin because we’re not sure whether a class, practice method or new role will work for us. But you don’t need certainty. You need a small experiment. Here is one you can complete in seven days: Day 1: Record ten seconds of one movement, pattern or skill. Days 2 to 6: …

Hi! Watching an entire class, thinking “Yes, that makes sense” and immediately starting another class feels productive. Unfortunately, understanding somebody’s explanation is not the same as giving your body time to learn it. If you’re using recorded classes, try our: One problem. One class. One week.

You’re allowed to learn something simply because it makes you a more informed dancer. Experiencing another role can help you understand: Preparation: You begin to feel how much information …

Hi! Styling is often taught as if it belongs to a particular role, body or gender. It doesn’t. Styling is simply the way you make a movement yours. It’s a fancy word created in social dances for one thing: SOLO dancing. If you want to explore it without collecting twenty random arm movements, start with …

Hi! Some dancers impress you. Other dancers make you breathe out, relax and feel that you can actually be yourself. If someone manages both, keep them. Feeling safe with somebody is not only about whether they are “nice.” It is something we can actively practise and think about. In a lot of dance spaces around …

Hi! Summer is wonderful for many things. Maintaining a beautifully organised training routine is not always one of them 😂 You travel. You stay out later. Your living room becomes too hot. Suddenly, practising feels like something that requires a free afternoon, a studio and enormous levels of motivation. It doesn’t. Here is a complete …

Hi! Maybe you already rotate roles throughout an entire song. Maybe you are learning your second role. Maybe you have never tried it, but the idea makes sense to you. All three count. For the next ten Sundays, we’re sending you one little piece of the RoleRotation world: something useful to learn, something to try, …
