This platform is for all humans, artists, and especially lovers of dance. Follow me(Chris McCartin) as I take you on a journey of rediscovering your abilities in any art form or craft that you hold near to your heart; whether it's finishing that song you left in a notebook or choreographing an entire phrase to add to your reel. Welcome to my world of all things art and dance related. Come explore the realms of possibility that exist in all of our creative minds. (And learn more about my favorite artform: the art of movement and the history of where it originated along the way.)

A Meditation for your Mind and Spirit
Hello,
Long time no see. I wanted to share a great practice of meditation to make it available to everyone. This is a habit that will change your life. No need for religion, belief system, or monk-like robes, this practice that has been around for centuries has brought people to full self-actualization and to the path of freedom and enlightenment. Hope you can relax, focus your thoughts, and enjoy a meditation with me. Listen to it as frequently as you need to. Here is a FREE meditation, with no need for premium subscriptions to an app. No excuses, just you bettering you.
