A late substitution had Dana Mancini filling in for Kristen today and her understudy did not miss a beat. Spin instructors have their own inimitable style but Mancini brings an eclectic portrayal in her musical selection and a new twist: Sensory Deprivation.
Sensory deprivation or shutting out one or more of our senses like seeing for instance serves to heighten the others that remain. Dana suggested that we close our eyes and take a voyage of the mind. As I watched her close her portals I did as well and my breathing and pedal stroke took on another dimension. I felt as if my legs were in concert with my lungs and the beat of the music kept me in a rhythm like a syncopated drum.
Dana’s star is rising fast with a bullet and when the Queen leaves her throne Ms. Mancini is one understudy that fits the marquee perfectly in her absence.
