A physically integrated introduction to partnering in contemporary dance is a welcoming, warming, grounding, and invigorating dance learning experience for ALL bodies. Participants will learn how dance was really always meant for everyone, and it is the love of it and our own bodies doing it that can make us shake and shine. Through a thorough warm up, low impact/high consent/high reward partner exercises, improvisation games, and experiments in duet composition (making dances!), participants will gain new recognition of themselves as beautiful and capable movers, and new trust and comfort with moving with a partner (potentially with a body different from theirs).
