This website is now live!! And can be found on the UM eScholarship site - https://escholarship.umanitoba.ca/projects/motionminutes They are still working on building the video library - I hear there will be some dance break videos coming soon! 😊 * If anyone wants to participate in the creation of one of these videos, please contact Cheryl.
