Give Meaning to the Movement | Someone To You
Someone To You by Banners
We love the sound, vibe and honesty of this song. We all want to matter. And we all want to be needed, especially after a season of isolation, distance learning and working... this one feels super timely and probably quite cathartic for some of us to verbalize these wo... -

Give Meaning to the Movement | Cover Me In Sunshine
Cover Me in Sunshine by P!nk & Willow Sage Hart.
This song is slow and lyrical, giving us time to really dive into the music and feel our way around its meaning. If this isn't the song that all of humanity needs, then I don't know what is!!! -
Give Meaning to the Movement | Dig Deep
Kali talks a lot in the Choreo Breakdown about what this song means to her, but take the time to read the lyrics to create your own connection to the music. To her, it represents that even in this age of technological advances and conveniences, the solution to so many of our problems can be fou...

Give Meaning to the Movement | Run
Run by OneRepublic

Give Meaning to the Movement | Feels in My Body
Feels in My Body by Icona Pop.
This cute little number will help you bring up the heart rate and the heat! Because some of the moves are quite quick, your body will need to be tight and precise to get to where you need to go on time. So, not SOO much cardio, but definitely has a focus on working... -

Give Meaning to the Movement | Titans
This week's song is Titans (feat. Sia & Labrinth) by Major Lazer. Funky, powerful, and just like Sia is so good at- that bridge where the sound of her voice alone makes me want to cry! Playing with that form / freedom balance. For tips- refer to the Choreo breakdown above!

We love the Dad Dance Move vibe of this song! We pulled out all of our best moves for this one- the sprinkler, the shopping cart, the moonwalk and the robot. Have fun!!!

Give Meaning to the Movement | Follow You
This cool down is about going with someone into their deepest lows, not being afraid of those bigger emotions and letting someone know they are not alone. I think it's so beautiful.
