Reaching Out Online: YouTube Videos Help Step Up Your Solo Practice-- April 2009

You’ve seen the first BTC YouTube video —an engaging way to introduce newcomers to the practice of Chinese movement arts. Now tune in to our new aid for BTC practitioners, a ten-minute follow-along session guided by teachers Dan Kleiman and Katie Keane. Ongoing videos in this series will be posted monthly, following the new, once-a-month “community practice” Saturdays that started up in March. “We’re launching a lot of new efforts to make outside-of-class, solo practice easier for students to integrate in their daily lives,” says BTC director Dan Kleiman. The current video spans practices from leg drops and pelvis folds to loosen the hips, to side bends (shown) and ways to open up the breath, to arm “let-go” movements. Many thanks to Alan Dougall for shooting the video.
