Everyone can draw a doodle – and dance it too! Grab a pencil and paper and let the doodling begin, then step back and give it a good look. Take it in. Is it angular, curvy, whimsical, ominous, bright, ghostly…? Enjoy the details of your work and let it challenge you to move. Set the mood with your favorite tunes and let the movement of your artwork swirl you into motion.
