I mssed day so I was assigned a penance
to drill in place blond folded

whoa!
I did 50 minutes of in place drills and strength building
blind folded
the last 5 minutes I hula hooped

ok this is what it does for you
makes you VERY aware of your head movement
makes you aware of when you need to tighten the core for balance
and I really needed to engage the core up at least 1 if not 2 notches to maintain my balance from what I would do normally

It did something good for me, Ive been leading all moves with my right wrist. its been mentioned negatively by the instructors in 2 workshops last year. when I really was focusing on the move, and my balance and using the muscles properly my wrist stopped flipping
cant flip the wrist when you are using that arm as a balance anchor

I did hip lifts, slides, shimmies, hip alphabets, fig 8s, and hip circles and arms
I danced in place a little easy choreo (that was the last thing I did -- talk about messing with balance!)
I did various arm curls for delts and back strength, squats, and crunches and belly rolls
all blind folded, I did open my eyes between for orientation, after the hip lifts I was practically in the book shelf!

I would actually recommend doing a few drills with your eyes closed it makes you very aware of the muscles you need to be using
