Nov 25 Message to Clients
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I hope this finds you and yours healthy and happy. Given that Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and acknowledge all that we have to be grateful for, it seems fitting to send a note to let you know how deeply grateful I am for YOU. The joy that BeMoved classes bring to me is, at times, overwhelming and the beautiful people in the BeMoved community inspire me to no end. I miss those of you that I don't see via Zoom, and I think of you often. I look forward to when we can see each other again and dance together in a studio. Imagine how grateful we will all be when that day comes!
Until then, I continue to teach virtual BeMoved classes on Lucky Plush's Virtual Dance Lab Sundays at 11am and Tuesdays at 5pm CT. Lucky Plush purchased online digital music licenses, so (drum roll) I am now able to use the ORIGINAL PLAYLIST MUSIC and do ALL THE GENRES. I hope you will join us in Zoomland - its really nice to visit before and after class - and 100% of your donation helps Lucky Plush pay their artists during this prolonged 'intermission.' That means that you, me and artists ALL benefit! (If you are happy about having original playlist music, please consider making an additional donation to Lucky Plush to help underwrite the cost of the digital licenses ~$600).
I'm grateful to share that the BeMoved to Action series of outdoor events was a great success. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, we raised close to $1,500 for the partnering organizations: Until Justice - Just Is, The DuSable Museum of African American History and Westside Justice Center. Thank you to everyone who came out to dance and learn about what we can all do to help move Chicago toward greater social justice. Gold stars to Kim, Maureen & Micki who came to all three events! Videos from the events will be on my website soon, and I expect to offer this series again in the springtime.
Finally, as winter looms and the need to KEEP MOVING grows every more challenging, I suggest trying OR GIFTING the Online BeMoved Digital Studio. This subscription-based platform allows you to take a BeMoved class any time and any where you like (think "on-demand"). You can choose from different genres, levels and instructors (Sherry, Heidi, Sarah and myself, so far), with new content added every week including Gentle BeMoved (seated) and the new series of BeMoved & BeWell exercises and tips for overall wellbeing. BeMovers who have tried it are really enjoying it. I encourage you to check it out soon to take advantage of the low introductory pricing. Register NOW to lock in your savings - after the FREE trial period, a subscription is just $19.95/month (which is less than 2 in-person classes) and you can cancel anytime. What have you got to lose, except maybe a few pounds and the winter blues?!
I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope that your heart and belly are filled, even if its not a 'normal' celebration this year. We must rise to the challenge of making lemonade out of the lemons of 2020. I, for one, have plenty to be thankful for and I thank you for being a part of the fabric of my life. If we express gratitude for all that we have, it makes what we have enough.
With Love and Light,
Jennifer
