That is it for September! Are we all used to the online/altered/synchronous/a-synchronous/different door drop off/mask-wearing variation of school yet? And don’t forget to dance-in-the-box! The new choreographic challenge for all dance studio teachers! Covid-19 is still and increasingly a reality in our world. As CERB is now finished, Branch Collective began our workshop series, Monthly Practice, online to be able to provide safe dance classes (FOR FREE) and a paid monthly gig for as many dance and movement teachers as possible.

In September, we were so lucky to have Zoi Monroy teaching her workshop Sexy Salsa, and Chantae Robinson teaching Afrobeats x Dancehall. As we move into October, we want to be sure to connect you with Zoi and Chantae so you can continue to learn from them and support their work.

Chantae Robinson
Chantae and her dance partner Andy (who will be teaching with Branch in November! Surprise!) are the founders and teachers of BigMoves Dancing. A Youth Outreach Program that became so popular that now it is open for all to join. Due to, you guessed it, Covid-19, the space BigMoves was using is no longer available. Both Chantae and Andy would LOVE to continue the program but need a generous home to host their classes that provides enough space to be safe. If you have or know of a space that might work, please get in touch with Chantae through her instagram or with us at branchcollective@madeformovers.com Check out the awesome work BigMoves Dancing is doing:
Chantae is also the owner of a natural skin care product line called Xaymaca Natural! We all know what’s coming…
…and we all know we need to moisturize.
And of course Chantae also whipped up a playlist of songs from her workshops. Have a listen!
