Timeless, ageless and pragmatic tips.. You are a genius. I think the the hand exercizes are tougher. Will practice more.

[@annefitz7346]

same for me

[@annefitz7346]

I saw you on another video & was shocked to hear that you had a poor memory. I danced all my life & all my dancing friends & I have great memories! We had to; our teacher showed us something once & we better get it! Later, I taught dance & our best dancers were 90 % of the time, excellent students. I am 70 now & taking tap again to help me stay sharp because I have noticed a very mild change in my memory. I'll be watching your videos often! Thx for posting.

[@Anastasia_Woolmer]

Awesome! Dance is known to be good for your brain (as you know), 70 and taking up tap - inspirational :)

[@gaimers7029]

You are doing well ma'am. I think you're videos must have more views

[@vera5757]

Thank you 💗

[@gunillasims2869]

Great exercises.

[@heatherjeanmoyes]

brilliant - so many of these great for teens - you give explanation as to why thinking is important - love to get more seated (or standing without actions that esculate energy).

[@gulshanlaskar6323]

I found all your exercises easy.

[@Susanzakho]

You are welcome Decotis, glad to help

[@dwightfindlay3402]

My daughter dances and has trouble at times remembering the combinations and blanks.
She also tends to struggle with body awareness ie left vs right.
Do you have any exercises or tips?

[@ismailhakkkutluhan7159]

Hi Anastasia, hope you remember me from either/both LinkedIn or/and Facebook, anyway. It is an interesting video I have ever learned the memory techniques so far. The most difficult I have found would be the exercises using the hands in the opposite directions. By the way, are those techniques proven in terms of boosting/improving the memory, or rather brain, literally? Thanks :) Warm regards from Turkey, Ismail.

[@Anastasia_Woolmer]

Hi Ismail,
Thank you for your comment I am glad you liked the video :) I agree, the hardest one is the hands in the opposite directions - but keep at it and you will master it. (and then it is time to learn more different ones).
There is science behind exercises like this, but it is more for general cognitive health. There are lots of articles you can read about it, Ausmed has a good article named Exercise - Induced Neuroplasticity - Creating New Neural Pathways (if you are keen to google it).
Have a wonderful, happy, healthy, fit, brain day! :)

The 3rd was pretty challenging for me to do.

The hands in opposite directions were easy for me probably because I am a cellist and do very different movements with each hand every day.
