Give Meaning to the Movement | I Am Free
This song is about ending relationships and creating boundaries, which, for many of us, is a very challenging and brave act of self-love. Of course, there is some sadness in there as well, as we don't usually want relationships to end. However, sometimes they have to in order for us to authentica...

Give Meaning to the Movement | Rhythm of My Show
This song channels powerful movement and attitude much like the tango. It’s versatile in that it can be placed in the middle of your cardio section as well as leading into or out of it. The tone and lyrics fit well with other songs dedicated to self-confidence.

Give Meaning to the Movement | Give You Love
This one is pretty easy AND difficult and should feel good in the body and your heart. Make sure you have something in your "love reserves" and if you do, SHARE IT with someone during this song or after class. Look around the room. Make eye contact. Reach for them. Make it weird for a second.

Give Meaning to the Movement | Who We Love
A heartfelt celebration of love in all forms, regardless of who, how, and when we love and whether the love is current or in the past. It is an ode to trusting our hearts and allowing them to open and feel love. Even when love is lost, in time, we can celebrate that for a while; we felt it. What ...

GMttM | Dance The Night
Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party! This song transports us to the club where disco glamour and drama reign supreme.
