Base Move
Rock Around The Clock
Say it: “wow”
Standing with your feet hip-width apart, rock around the outside edges of both feet, moving in a circular motion from the front to the side, to the back and to the opposite side. Reverse directions.
Move from the ground up using the strength of your feet and the mobility of your ankles to create small rolling actions that mimic a hula-hoop.
When practicing Rock Around the Clock, play with motions that support increased mobility of your ankles, knees, hip joints and spine. Use your core and upper extremities to support the dynamics of continuous fluid motion.
Move with the intent to touch all edges of your feet to the earth!

Dance Through Life – Action Item
Reflexology is the ancient Chinese art of treating the body’s energy system through pressure-point massage of the feet. Rock Around the Clock becomes self-directed reflexology when you partner with the floor. Pressure to heel, to outer edges, and to ball and toes will restore energy flow up through your body, releasing blocks.
The foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles to move these bones and 100 ligaments!
Invite stretch, range, tone, flow, & glow as you Rock Around the Clock today!
