The Connection Workshop

To be a successful partner it is essential to have an understanding of how to connect.

The ability to lead without force.

The ability to follow with awareness & intention.

Standing & walking alone with an awareness of one’s’ own axis.

Standing and walking as a unit, forwards, backwards and sideways.

Giving and Receiving: An exercise in flow.

Appropriate for both couples and singles desiring to improve their partner dancing skills as well as interested in using the art of dance to enjoy a deeper connection to self and others. Course is accompanied by melodic music, soft lighting and chocolate.

 

T E S T I M O N I A L S

"Jean-Pierre and Oshalla's method of demonstrating the energetic and visceral connection between dance partners is so wonderfully foundational. We understand now how to connect empathically. The definition of "leading" is forever changed in me. Dance is about inviting, awareness, protecting the connection. Beautiful!" ---Pia
