GIVE MEANING TO THE MOVEMENT
These videos come out with every single new song release. Here you will learn directly from our Oula choreographers why certain moves were chosen to help us more deeply experience the story and move it through our bodies. You can find a more in depth breakdown of our new song each week in the Intro to Oula section!

Give Meaning to the Movement | Big Dreams

Give Meaning to the Movement | Decide to be Happy

There's a great optimism in this song, and also a CHOICE about what we give our attention to. Finding the sunshine, changing our focus, and taking it all one day at a time. I think we could all use a bit of this approach in these crazy times. -

The Rush by JJ Wilde.
There's a great rocker vibe that drives this song, and we tried to match that with jumps, kicks and some sexy sass. -

Dark Waters by Tones And I is a powerful song about transition. It's almost a letting go and also a finding of ones' self.
-
