My loop ingredients were reach, slide, lay down & swirl.

I started creating this loop by choosing two elements I really like but hadn’t tried linking them together. I love the thread through/swirl movement and the slide from all 4s. I just find them really fun. From there it was playing around with how to get these to connect. I definitely flip flopped a little bit on things leading up to finalizing what I wanted to do with it. Up until filming I wasn’t sure what music I would listen to as I filmed but as I was getting ready the song popped into my head and I knew that it was the right choice to get me into the right space. I easily could have kept going and gone over the 5 minute mark.

I really liked how much sliding around I could do with this loop and how much room for movement in the space it created. It was challenging though to find an angle that would capture most of the movement in my home space and give me the most movement room.

I would try to breath more at the beginning, despite starting with breath I noticed that I didn’t carry that through and had to begin using my breath again part way through.

I learned that when I’m planning on practicing a loop to give myself more time. Whether for myself or in a class setting. Its good to give more time to really explore things and see where they might go.
