Hello dazzling dance friends! It is hard to believe that I have completed 8 weeks of West Coast Swing blogging. My education in WCS has by no means ended, I just wanted to start to write about something new. I have absolutely fallen in love with this style of dance and even got myself a private lesson with the infamous, Richard Dugger! It was in one word ... amazing! I will continue to study WCS, but need to move on when it comes to blogging.

Functional movement to strengthen the core

How do we create a strong core?
In the previous blog we talked about using the "core of our core" in daily movement. In this blog we will explore another way to create a strong core. That way is a focused approach through specific exercises. This method of core training is not sitting at home and doing crunches while lying on the floor. I admit, that will make your stomach muscles stronger, yet you will only be really good at doing crunches ... and with a low carb diet you could be an underwear model!

Thank you to all of our fantabulous students who submitted questions to the snarky yet sweet, Burk McRae! I just have to say again that I truly enjoyed getting to know Burk better through this process. He was witty, honest, and extremely amusing. This was another one of those articles where I wish I could just let readers listen to the interview to really capture the voice! Be on the lookout for our next Pro, the swanky Grace, who will be featured in a Spotlight on Wednesday, June 26th!
