Today we had a great time in class! The ladies learnt 5 new soca moves while we worked it out! Class was on fire! The ladies had the opportunity to perfect their wine and juke. How many different ways can you juke or wine? I can wine and juke in a number of positions! LOL! My students will tell you this class works on your endurance while helping you workout the waist line. Today's class focused on introducing the newcomers to basic moves while challenging the veterans on their stamina & agility to hold the wine, juke, roll, figure 8, etc... while performing another move simultaneously! Everyone did a SPECTACULAR job with the move titled " the 90 with a pause". Are you curious of what that looks like? Pure Pressure!!!!!!!!
Miami carnival is 3 weeks away! Trinidad is 5 months away! Its never too early to get ready for de road! Now is the time to build up your endurance for the ultimate road performance. Link the Socarobics Queen to sign up for classes! This song is the inspiration for today's class:

There is no place better than the Caribbean!
I am so blessed to be able to spend one month touring some of the islands of the Caribbean. As I listen to the beautiful music for Grenada Carnival and watch the way the music inspires all different moves, all I can think about is how inspired I am to create. On carnival Monday in Grenada, I watched many of my fellow masqueraders express their joy and excitement. The truck stopped, I and many women had the oppurtunity to stand and wine! Plenty people going down low, going to the side, jumping straight up in the air with their standard or just pushing back on the man behind them, We couldn't wait to display our winin talent! This is how we progressed throughout the day. Walking and winin! Chipping and winin! Jumping and winin! Juking and winin! MADNESS!!
The truck stopped and the music was flowing!!!! AHA! A new move was born! LMAO! Music is my muse! The best place to find inspiration is when you playing mas! Soca music has a way of freeing up the mind to create magic! Classes start in September. Are you ready to experience playing mas while exercising and getting fit?
STAY TUNED FOR MORE.............................
It seems that as the summer approaches my creativity juices are flowing. Music is my muse! The more I listen to soca music the more I am challenged to create inspirational dance moves that pushes my students to the limit while we have a ball. Socarobics is carnival! Every class is to prepare you for mas and de road! Are you ready for mas? Socarobics gets you ready while having a specatacular time!
