My New Choreography - Somebody Sway June 2026

Somebody Sway is a little beginner (2 walls, 2 restarts) choreography I created for my dancers this summer. We worked on it together in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and I’m happy to share it here. A gentle, joyful moment of group dancing. And here is a link to a u-tube teach video

Somebody Sway est une petite chorégraphie que j’ai créée pour mes danseurs cet été. Nous l’avons travaillée ensemble dans une ambiance joyeuse et décontractée, et je suis heureuse de la partager ici. Un beau moment de danse en groupe, tout en douceur et en plaisir.

New Choreography - "No Boots Under My Bed" now on Copperknob

Hi everyone,

I’ve been feeling really inspired lately, and this choreography came together so naturally that I decided to share it with you. My husband played Dry Spell for me, and the musicality grabbed me instantly — the rhythm stayed in my head, and the dance grew from that spark. I even shared the song with a friend before I realized it would end up becoming a choreography of my own.

It’s a High Beginner, but if you take out the full turn, your Beginners will be able to enjoy it too. The dance is now on YouTube, and I’ve also posted a teach video for my students to practice at home.

I hope you enjoy it.

Try out my new "High Beginner" choreography to the song Project by Chase MacDaniel. You can find it on U-tube or get the step sheet from Copperknob!

Thanks for watching,

Sylvie
