Hello there, you. How are you?

What have you been up to this October/November? (aka 'Octember')

What lessons from this year will you be taking with you into 2024? (And perhaps even beyond?)

Anything you're looking forward to especially this December?

Reply to this K-Newsie and let me know!

xx K.

Member's News, Events & Updates

Pretty cool, huh? :)

YEE - I want to try the App!

There's still a lot of work to do, and I am sure techie issues will pop up (thanks for bearing with me!) but I am very pleased with how much easier the new online school interface is to navigate for students.

So.. that's all I have on that for now :) Next year we will add BOOST 2024 and some more DVDs to the Membership, too!

I hope you'll enjoy the free preview!!

(BOOSTies of 2024, you'll keep free access a bit longer)

YEES - Take me to the Student's Dashboard!

PS: For those who asked about this - Any Gumroad courses you've purchased in the past will stay available to you on Gumroad indefinitely. What is yours there will stay yours.

Both online platforms will co-exist for legacy purposes, as I am not able to move everything at once.

Future BOOST Series/Courses will be uploaded to the new Dancer's BOOST Membership Platform only, and existing Courses/DVDs will be added there gradually over time.

On to the Bonus Linkies and Videos!

Gorgeous Fusion Dancer (Thank you dear BOOSTie Ragnhild for sharing!)
Golden Era Dancer Kitty (One of the Dancers of next year's Online BOOST Membership!)
30 Minute Hips & Shoulder Release (watch on YT, on IG or on FB)
Fighting Fans in Martial Arts (Inspiration for December's Jingle Bell Raq Event - see below!)

Speaking of Fans/Martial Arts meets Dance..

Two fun Events this December:

A 3D Day in Belgium (Let's meet up 'for realz'!)

Come join my NEW Workshop 'Martial Arts meets Belly Dance' (aka Fans and Fan Veils)
There's also a X-Mas Hafla (performance spots still available!)
This all happens this December 16th in Genk, Belgium :) (Ho ho ho!)
Organized by the lovely Luna of Belgium.
Sounds good, right?

Yees - sign me up!!

And.. WOW21 is back!

xx K. (and Mr. E)

As for me.. This Octember I managed to..

Win some prizes (along with Mr. E!) at a Korean Sword competition (Thank you Master Chae!)
Learn how to wield (well, more or less.. ) a Kung Fu Sabre. So much fun!
Break a sharp Korean sword (oops... only partially related)
Fail at a Korean sword test (Yup. All of these things happened the span of 3 weeks lol)

I also managed to..

Set up (finally!) our new Online School Platform (thank you all for bearing with me!)
Entertain my lovely BOOSTies with the Noble Art of Wrangling Fans (so much fun, always)
Learn a ton while doing all this ('fails'/setbacks will teach you a lot, all at once)

Whew. December will be a bit more calm (I hope!) to balance out and process.

How about you?

Could you use a bit of 'rest and restoration' these days?

In that case.. read on below for..

Self-Care Tips: 3 Ways to recharge your energy in Winter (on darker days)

Journal, read, rest (any of these 3 things will help restore and balance your energy)
Get moving (take a little walk, move your body, stretch.. a little will go a long way)
Get some fresh air (don ye now thine thermal undies - just a few minutes outside does the trick)
Bonus.. find the light (that's it.. our X-mas light/mini tree will be UP tomorrow haha)

Speaking of finding the light.. (that very little bit of daylight now on the Northern Hemisphere)

Here's some Nature Walk Piccies from the Joy of Movement Blog

If you, like me, love those sunny/rainy crisp fall days, tap this for the Mr. E walkies of fall.

Ooo... kay. That's is for now.

Epic update, right?

Be sure to move a bit today. Or rest. Or both.

Thank you again for being here. And congrats to you if you've read all this!

Much much love to you.

xx K. (and Mr. E)
