: today is the day! I’m going to #body #balance later, and that already puts this day in a slightly different category, because today is the first day of a new #choreography. new #music, new sequences, a new flow that will stay with me for the next three months. it happens only four times a year, so yes – this is a small celebration.
but the reason isn’t novelty. it’s what these Les Mills choreographed classes are for me. officially they’re fitness, technically they’re training, but very quickly they stop feeling like exercise at all. I don’t count reps, I don’t think about muscles – I move. well… I #dance. the #choreography connects everything: one transition melts into another, breath, #balance, arms, spine, all stitched together by #music. after a few classes the trainer fades into the background, I know the sequence, my #body remembers it – and that’s when it becomes #dance.
that’s why these three-month cycles matter so much to me. a #choreography isn’t something I use up in one class – I live in it. I come back again and again, it settles, deepens, becomes familiar, and in that familiarity there’s comfort, joy, and progress at the same time. today a new one begins, and it’s #monday, which makes it even more special – the big class, fifty spots, always full, familiar faces I know from seeing, bodies moving together in the same internal rhythm. it reminds me of a kind of #festival, really.
I’m on #body #balance three, four, sometimes five times a week, and every time I find this quiet pocket of #dance inside the #gym. not work on my #body, but time with my #body. so happy about this day!
