Hope your Memorial Day Weekend went well! I enjoyed some time away with friends, but now I’m anxious to get back into the swing of things.
Here are some interesting readings and infographics on performance, leadership, and my YouTube channel updates!
1. Charlie Weingroff posted this link about teamwork from a medical and sports science point of view, and this has been where my thought process has been going lately in terms of developing a better form of communication for individuals.

3. My dance performance video blog has been seeing more views lately, so be sure to keep up with Enhance2DanceTV to stay up to date with the latest info on how to stay healthy and improve performance for dancing.
Keep it funky.
