Hello. So any good jazz class is going to start with a great warm up, that's going to help you feel inspired and ready to go, stretched out warmed up and just excited to learn all the new things that you're going to learn. And this is no different. So what I would encourage you to do is watch this stretch video every single day before you start in on the day's move, it's going to help you actually get more flexible, get stronger, and in just 20 days, it will become like second nature. So I highly recommend that I'm actually going to face away from you for a lot of it. So you can really kind of follow along with me and see exactly what I'm doing.
