Friggatriskaidekaphobia

Uh oh, it’s Friday the 13th! According to Wikipedia, the fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia. Now I can’t even say the word but it’s already a favorite. The native New Yorker in me loves the “frigga” part. The focus of today's routine is “traveling in directions.” We’re not going to pretend we’re in a horror flick running away from a masked crazed person. Nope, that doesn’t sound fun at all. Instead, we’re going to use our magnificent feet, knees, and legs to confidently and playfully explore the space around us while using our trusty sensation of pleasure as a guide.

As we travel in directions, imagine stepping through many doorways, learning to consciously anticipate change of direction, and moving with the intent to respond to change with grace and ease. Prepare to feel powerful, strong, and agile in your whole body. We may also just have to try sounding out friggatriskaidekaphobia while we dance. Are you up for it? Join me tonight at 6:45pm at the Crown Hill School, room 4.
