Jeremiah and Amy Participated in a Swing Dance Event in St. Louis



Over the weekend of September 21-23 dance instructors Jeremiah and Amy Simmons attended the competitive swing dance event, Meet Me in St. Louis.  
 
These events are full of learning and practicing opportunities for aspiring swing dancers, accomplished dancers, and pros. Participants can attend group classes, watch competitions, take private lessons, and even compete!
 
Jeremiah and Amy took a couple private lessons, hit a few workshop lessons, and social danced until their feet hurt.  
 
Hundreds of people attend these weekend events. Since they go to several different events throughout the year, each one is full of budding friendships and dance practices with people they love. In October they will head to Chicago the weekend before Halloween to Swing City Chicago.  
Jeremiah and Amy say "We can't wait to introduce Free Range students to our favorite style of dance!"
Anne Ingersoll and ROYALS (Regional Office Youth Alternative Learning Services)


Anne Ingersoll recently began teaching her Breathe For Change breath and yoga work at the ROYALS (Regional Office Youth Alternative Learning Services) in Macomb, Canton, and Carthage. The curriculum helps develop social emotional learning for students. Research shows that we are more able to control our emotions as well as our actions through daily breathing strategies. 

Not only are these strategies helpful for students but they can also help teachers as well. Breath work helps teachers manage their emotions and actions which is a form of self care. Statistics show that 73% of teachers report that they are burned out which is why it is so important that our teachers care for themselves so they can care for their families as well as their students. Through simple breathing techniques and mindful movement exercises, our school communities can be transformed. But it takes time and daily practice for transformation to occur. Everyone can practice breath exercises!

Try it! Let's take three breaths together:

Inhale. Exhale.
Deep breath in. Deep breath out.
Biggest breath in. Exhale your biggest breath out for the day.

This simple practice allows our brains to comprehend information differently and sends signals to our brain through our Vagas nerve to calm ourselves.  

In addition, Anne also presented at a professional development session for area teachers where she discussed the 8 components of social emotional learning and helped demonstrate how simple breathing and moving practices can be incorporated into the classroom. More profession development sessions are being scheduled for future trainings.
