Tech Tuesday – Beware of the Chain Icon in Spotify
John it just disappeared. It showed up fine on my computer and I'll swear it was on my Droid before I left to teach. But as I was ready to launch into a long threshold effort, Spotify skipped past a track, completely messing up my class. Amy is the official Android...
Selling Something Scary to your Classes

Free Music Friday 10/4
I subbed John's class tonight and used a new playlist. His class just lit up when this 66 rpm hill came up! It's a great funk tune (Re-recorded and Remastered) from a Cleveland based 80's group. It has that 'I recognize this' familiarity that our classes love. Simply...

Free Music Friday 9/27
This Friday brings a change of pace with a hard driving climb. If you enjoy a great bass line, this song will rock your socks. A British alternative rock band, self described as 'techno-pop punk rock', with a lead singer from Nigeria, this band originated in 1994 and...
A bit too callused?
When dancing years (and years and years....) ago in college, we had only one efficient way to remove calluses from our feet. We would sit around the studio after practice and use a single razor blade to cut them off. Thinking about it now, I am grateful I didn't get a...
