I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Toothbrush Exercise Catalog

April 2, 2021

Hey guys.

About a year ago, for some reason, I started recording the tiny exercises I make all my favorite students do on the regular (whether it's to introduce and/or reinforce a technique or kill time, you can decide for yourself). I put them on Instagram because FB was being a poop the day I started.

30+ exercises later, the "toothbrush exercises", named for a hopefully daily task that takes about the same time as each exercise, were spread out amongst the pictures of my daily life, food, newborn babies, and general ridiculousness.

Weirdly, I put them on YouTube (which baffles me – why does one video has 5K views and another have zero? why does someone dislike a video about good posture?), mostly so I could embed them here.

And voilà!

Here are all the Toothbrush Exercises (and some yet to come).
