Contact Dance

This workshop will be based on the fundamental foundation of contact dance, finding the small dance. We will first begin centreing into our own essence, pulse and internal dance. We will then introduce exercises that will teach people to merge this individual small dance with that of another. Neither through following or leading but through deep listening and surrendering to the new small dance created through the union of two people. We will start through simple movements and slowly work our way up to weight sharing and more exciting lifts, all the while honouring the small dance. This process is not only fun and deeply connected it is also an amazing tool to illuminate our habits and preferences in how we relate to the world. Are we always pushing? Are we always following? Can we support and be supported? Can we trust and surrender? Can we meet each moment with openness, integrity and vulnerability? You will discover all of these things as we journey together. This is an all level workshop.
