🎵 Songs on the Playlist - September edition! 🎵

We were incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of country legend Dolly Parton, so this month we’re paying homage to her extraordinary discography with not one but two classic tracks; the iconic 9 to 5 and her beautiful duet with Kenny Rogers, Islands in the Stream. We’re also stepping back into the Swinging Sixties with (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction and My Sentimental Friend, alongside the gorgeously chilled Come Away With Me by Norah Jones.

As always, please let us know in the comments which songs you’re enjoying the most this month! 👇

Want to practice in the comfort of your own home? No fear, we have you covered with a YouTube playlist of this month's songs! Follow the link to listen now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSSxnv1_J2g&list=PLIP9qFn5ODjErskc5EeECtDB4BI-wrnMv🎧🎵

⭐Saturday Spotlight: Contemporary Dance ⭐

➡Every Saturday, we share a different blog post from our website, focussing on a specific style of dance. This week it's the turn of contemporary dance!

➡ Contemporary dance isn't any one thing; it's a fusion of different styles, most notably ballet and modern. It can be particularly enjoyable to perform due to the lack of constraints with the style and its' emphasis on self-expression.

➡ Why is Contemporary dance so good for You? Well, have you ever heard of a ‘flow state’? It’s when you’re so engaged in an activity that you lose track of time and feel completely immersed. Contemporary dance is perfect for achieving this state, enhancing your sense of wellbeing!
