THANK YOU!
Friends,
thank you so much for moving, grooving, healing and howling with me in
2022. I'm so grateful for all of you - our expandance and Danceypants
communities are only what they are because of what you bring to the
dance floor.
In 2022 I...
✨ Choreographed “Hair” for 6th Street Theatre. "Rachel Wynne’s choreography is vigorous and uninhibited" - Cari Pace for Aisle Seat Review
✨ Celebrated expandance becoming a registered Trademark - yeah baby! That R in a circle is ours, finally! ®®®
✨ Was interviewed about choreography for Gay Sonoma
✨ Taught many Danceypants classes in Sebastopol and got to meet so many new and fabulous friends (you!)
✨ Taught online expandance classes to five different countries around the world, as well as in-person private sessions here locally
✨ Started working on the new expandance membership
✨ Continued to codify and record each exercise in the expandance canon - we're now at over 65 exercises
And Laurie (co-founder of expandance)
✨ Opened her own Pilates and Slings studio in Derry, Northern Ireland (Yes, she's a real Derry Girl!)
✨ Was awarded and undertook artist residencies for expandance on both sides of the boarder
✨ Kept me focused and motivated in continuing to develop the expandance technique and practice from 4,000 miles away
2023 will bring:
✨ The launch of our expandance
BETA membership later this month - stay tuned! I'm working on the
back-end techy stuff and will let you know when registration opens in
the next couple of weeks!
✨ More Danceypants classes! And I've some some fun Danceypants-related ideas up my sleeve ;)
✨ More expandance classes and workshops, possibly even a retreat (ideas in the works)
✨ And who knows what else? I'm excited and very much looking forward to how expandance (and I) can grow this year and connect with more of you all
Thank you all for your support of my work; whether you came to a performance, worked with me in theatre, came to a class or had private sessions... you are not only showing up for yourself, your body and your mental and emotional health by moving, you're also supporting a small, single-mum-owned business that in turn supports me and my 5 year old child.
p.s. I made a couple of videos on the Instagram page this past week with clips from a lot of my expandance classes throughout 2022 - check them out: Part 1 / Part 2
