One DVD for 2009 is complete with MOVFitness.  Ballroom Yoga: Alignment & Technique for Ballroom Dancers was just filmed this week with MOVFitness instructor Christina Castelanelli.  This DVD introduces a sequence of Anusara poses to ballroom dancers and helps them understand and develop better alignment while in dips and frame.

Filmed in picturesque Santa Barbara with the American Riveria and the Pacific Ocean as backdrops, MOVFitness is known for bringing beautiful fitness videos where proceeds benefit local charties.

I am glad to have the opportunity to work with Christina on this project.  As a ballroom coach for years, it has always been a concern to me when working with professional dancers that they don’t have proper alignment.  Practicing this series can give a dancer confidence that they can be streamlined while in correct form.  I’m excited to be a part of this project and hope it is accepted well among the ballroom dancing community.

I’ve always been intrigued by media and over the years have developed a great eye for logos, graphic design, flyers, etc.  I think any entreprenuer in this age should master this skill as it will save a lot of money in paying someone else to help you brand your company.

Below are a few samples of my work.

Many of our DVDs are for Ballroom Dancers or fitness professionals. After publishing books, calendars, and websites for so long, I decided it was time to expand into DVDs.  I’m really happy to be able to offer this to the ballroom community.  I am heavily involved in the creation of all of these videos.  They will have a nice blend of fitness, ballroom dancing, and whichever speciality the teacher brings to the picture.

I’m a professional ballroom dancer. I’d love to learn other forms of dance. Please contact me if you want to trade styles – I’m always interested in learning new things.
