❤️ Zoom Daily Dance Break ❤️
Bringing your Dancing Self into Relationship
—creating a field of safety for practicing self-connection, while simultaneously connecting with others--
AN ONLINE FREE-STYLE DANCE EXPERIENCE
YES YOU CAN have very engaged dancing
EVEN THROUGH your screen !
This is a 'free-style' movement space.
You do not need to consider yourself a 'dancer' to join us.
We move however we want, in whatever way feels best to us;
Influenced by the beats, the rooms we are in, the emotional spaces we are in,
and the resonance we feel with the others in the dance.
▪ connect to your body, the music, your groove
▪ witness others dancing
▪ be witnessed by others as you dance
▪ connect and resonate with others through movement, gestures, emotions and words
I actively invite and engage others verbally so that all feel seen and connected with.
I frequently 'spotlight 'dancers (with consent) so that we can all simultaneously dance with one person.
