Intro to Micro Dancing
Join us for Intro to Micro dancing, where the art of slowing way way way down intertwines with the beauty of intimate connection. Through gentle movements and deliberate pacing, dance partners learn to sync their breath with subtle motions, fostering a meditative state of mind and a state of hyper-awareness. Get lost in a wordless conversation where the music and bodies speak the loudest. No dance partner or experience is required.
Partnered Groove
It’s surprising how so much of partner dancing is analogous to relationships. Establishing a shared groove is essential to building trust, connection, and playfulness in your dance. This class will focus on creating your own groove and then inviting your partner to join you, or incorporating their groove to merge them together! You’re invited to hear what we say, and ask yourself, “Are they talking about dance, or relationships?” The answer is, “YES!”
