Dancing Into Connection

A 2-hour embodied exploration of presence, connection, and flow.

Dancing into Connection (Vol. 2) is an experiential workshop that deepens our exploration of breath, touch, presence, and authentic relating through the container of partner dance. This offering invites you into a richer, more nuanced experience of connection — with yourself, with others, and with the moment — while cultivating ease, comfort, and aliveness in movement.

Through guided somatic connection exercises and partner dance explorations, we will investigate what it feels like to listen and respond through the body, to move in dialogue with another person, and to access states of flow while dancing together. This workshop emphasizes listening through the body, attuning to sensation, and responding from felt presence rather than performance.

You'll leave this movement intensive knowing how to:

• Use breath, weight shifts, and touch to initiate creative movements and drop into flow
• Co-regulate and find more comfort in your body while moving with others
• Get out of your head when you're dancing and feel grounded in your body
• Listen with your body in partner dance so that dancing feels like an easeful, flowy conversation (instead of trying to think your way through it)
• Feel more confident and empowered in your movements and personal expression

Social dancing — defined as any dance involving two or more people — offers a rich, embodied framework for exploring presence, grounding, connection, and aliveness in motion (and has many parallels to relating in day to day life). In this space, we will practice moving with consent, clarity and curiosity, while discovering how breath, touch, and presence can support deeper connection and mutual regulation.

This workshop is open to dancers of many backgrounds, including contact improvisation, Brazilian Zouk, fusion, and other partner-based or improvisational forms, as well as dance-curious individuals who are new to partner movement.

No partner and no previous dance experience are required.

Come as you are — curious, embodied, and willing to explore what connection feels like when it’s lived through the body in motion.

This movement intensive will be followed by an optional Open-Level Zouk Workshop and Zouk Social with Zouksylvania.

EARLY BIRD PRICING is open for only two more weeks (closes week of the event)!! We also offer discounted tickets for students and low-income folks.
