Edgy Partner Dance

Join Helen, with partner Jaycelle, in a sweet, sexy exploration of "taboo" movements in partner dance in T&P's unique container. We will cultivate an enhanced sense of awareness, communication & consent to expand our possibilities for connection. We will explore both the technique and energetics of dancing in a lead / follow relationship and become fluent at embodying both roles. Musicality will be a focus as we gather tools and learn how to gift our partners with our sensual experience of the music. With this common foundation, we will delve more deeply into the edges of sensation: Experiment with leading and following through biting, hair pulling, etc. Add dynamic spice to your dance while exploring impact as a way to connect to your partner and to the music. Try out guiding or surrendering from your erotic flow. Be pushed down, pulled up and thrown across the space - adding many more dimensions to our dance! We will develop our resilience by naming our curiosities and revealing both our discomforts as well as our pleasures. By sharing with each other somatically and verbally we aim to integrate and deepen our sense of belonging to self and to community.
