Leadercast Victorious Living SXM's host site incorporated brain dance, a centering body/brain movement tool for brain reorganization, oxygenation, and recuperation at the end of each segment and culminated the day in a corporate dance of "Break the Chain". Brain Dance prepares persons for learning and helps with appropriate behavior and social skills and was used to ensure that participants stayed engaged throughout the day. Victorious Living thanks the National Institute of Arts on St. Martin through Rudolph Davis who facilitated the brain dance sessions. Many lives were transformed through Leadercast 2016 and Victorious Living thanks all of its partners and participants for making it a success.
