I really enjoy my collaboration with my friend Robert Royston in West Coast Swing.

In our regular exchanges we discuss all little benefits and advantages the Tonemeup Pro bands give.

In this snippet Robert speaks and explains the muscular work of the Posterior (POS) and Anterior (AOS) oblique sling.

The Tonemeup Pro bands in this application technique make that inner body connection tangible for the dancer.

These online sessions are so valuable to us and show just how much the bands foster a much deeper understanding of dance.

Tonemeup Pro meets West Coast Swing.

Here a little insight from my colleague and friend Christian Spengler from the West Coast Swing community.

Before turning, feel your axis!

The preparation of a spin begins with understanding where your weight is balanced and how the body is organized above the supporting foot.

The Tonemeup Pro bands give direct feedback, helping you feel the vertical alignment from the foot through the knee, hip, upper body and head.

Watch the full explanation on our YouTube channel:
Tonemeup Pro meets West Coast Swing.

ChampCamp 2026!
A weekend dedicated to growth, learning, and self-reflection as dancers! It was all about defining our personal goals and finding the path to achieve them.
Spending 48 hours under the same roof with peers and friends, learning, dancing, eating, sleeping, and discovering new things alongside the best coach, @robertroyston, made this experience unforgettable!
Totally worth every second! ❤️
Special thanks to @wayne.aggi.swing for organizing this and for the incredible hospitality!

Tanzen hat mir so viel mehr beigebracht als nur das Tanzen. 🤍

Für diesen Post musste ich mich meinen eigenen Schattenseiten stellen. Hier sind ein paar Dinge, die ich auf dem Weg gelernt habe:

✨ Ich habe gelernt, dass es mir schwerfällt zu glauben, dass ich genug bin. Ich hab’s an den kleinsten Dingen gemerkt, zum Beispiel daran, dass ich Privatstunden immer wieder überzogen habe.

✨ Ich habe gelernt, wie viel ich von mir selbst versteckt habe. Auf Socials und in den Prelims konnte ich es zeigen, im Spotlight Finale nicht. Weil sich zu zeigen auch heißt, dass andere ablehnen können, was sie sehen.

✨ Ich habe gelernt, dass Ausdruck damit anfängt, sich selbst zu kennen. Bevor ich mich frei ausdrücken konnte, musste ich erst die Person kennenlernen, die ich ausdrücken wollte.

✨ Ich habe gelernt, dass ich Erfolg mit Gewinnen verwechselt habe. Lange habe ich nur Tänze geteilt, für die es eine gute Platzierung gab.

✨ Ich habe gelernt, dass Vergleiche dir die Freude rauben können. Meine einzige Konkurrenz ist die Person, die ich gestern war.

✨ Ich habe gelernt, dass ich den schönsten Job der Welt habe. Tänzerin, Competitorin, DJane, Judge, Head Judge, Schülerin, Lehrerin, Freundin. Ich habe eine Welt gefunden, zu der ich etwas beitragen möchte.

Und das Wichtigste: Ich möchte Menschen helfen, ihr volles Potenzial zu entfalten. Manchmal hält dich die Technik zurück. Manchmal der Kopf. Und manchmal weißt du noch gar nicht, was es ist. Ich liebe es, genau das herauszufinden und dir zu helfen, einen Weg hindurch zu finden.

Verletzlichkeit zu zeigen fällt nicht immer leicht. Aber vielleicht wird es für andere ein bisschen leichter, wenn einer damit anfängt

Was hat Tanzen dir über dich selbst beigebracht? Schreib’s mir in die Kommentare, ich würde es gerne lesen!
G 🧡

Last weekend was a truly special one at Champ Camp, an intensive West Coast Swing training with Robert Royston. ❤️

Not only did it push me out of my comfort zone in a supportive and welcoming environment, but it also gave me the chance to connect with amazing people and, especially, to get to know them better.

I’m leaving with new experiences, fresh inspiration, and a lot of gratitude. Sometimes, the best growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. ✨

Thank you for such a special weekend! 🙌
