After a bit confusion with the last minute change of location – the south of Sweden crew got together at SATS City in Malmö for Choreo Boost!

The workshop is mainly aiming to those instructors who teaches dance classes at the gym, like streetdance, jazz, afro, dance aerobics maybe, and so on.
Maybe not so much regular aerobics classes – and especially not if you’re not interested in working with the music, and choreo in a dancy way.

In Malmö I had some traditional aerobics instructors joining – with the classic mind set of an aerobics instructor educated by the old school guard (in my imagination at least)

Not to willing to step out of the square box – both attitude-wise but also literally, choreo-wise.
But it was a minority and I don’t really let tiny details like that affect me.

I rather spend my energy and time on those who are up for trying something else than what they might normally do. And, that kind of instructor was definitely much more well represented – so I’m happy with the day and their effort.

I’m actually surprised and impressed that I’ve had so many open minded and curious instructors willing to try my ideas.

I don’t teach aerobics classes and I don’t really teach my gym-street-classes in a traditional gym-teaching-way so I understand that it might be a little provocative for a classic aerobics instructor, when I want them to try things from my perspective and point of view.

How ever – I believe creativity start growing when you get forced to try something that you’re not used to, and it all gets a little confusing.
Then it’s sinking in – and you see what you can use out of it – how to make it your own and how to apply it in your work.

If you’re that personality type that shut all new (or just different) ideas out by bringing the attitude; this is not how I work – well, then it’s simply up to you.
I can’t or don’t want to do anything about that.

Lots of THANK YOU awesome people from south, for your energy and your good job. Hope to see you soon again.

Unfortunatley I missed to take my mandatory group pic, but I can assure you that all of them were beautiful and just awesome! : )

Today it was time for the second tour stop with my Choreo Boost Workshop that I’m holding for SATS – and it was SATS Göteborg time to move their asses. : )

According to the list it was gonna be a rather small but still an ok crowd of dance peeps – but when I came it was a teeny tiny group, only five people. But the better were they.
They all moved really well – which was great to see, and they seemed to like the workshop.

Awesome job guys, thanks for your positive vibe!

Now I’m in Malmö – where the third and last tour stop is or this round.
The training manager from the club where we’re supposed to be called me earlier and said that the studio were “kind of double booked” – so I’ll be at another club.
I don’t mind, as long as I catch my flight.
But then when he was about to explain how to get to the club he asked me what hotel I’m at… I answered that I really didn’t know, some Elite hotel close to the central station.

Then he got quiet for a while before he continued;
– Aaah – that hotel.
(me)  – What?! Is it bad
(him)  – Noo.. the opposite… (silence) so, the educational budget is lavish indeed (even more silence)
And in the same moment as I felt he turned really bitter and judgementful to me it hit me that there is rather fancy Elite hotel as you walk from the station – but it’s not that one I’d be staying at.
And for some really weird reason I  felt obligated to explain to him how it was.. and he was like – what ever. Annoying!

He gives me a call one day in advance – tells me that they have double booked their studios – and need to move my workshop to another club, and that I might need to switch studio in the middle of my session as well…
And then he judge me for what hotel he thinks I’m at.

Weird!!!!

Anyhow – that’s just a tiny side track.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s CB and I hope everyone remembers to change the time this night – finally back to summertime!!

You know what that means, it’s summer! YAY!
