David will lead a warmup that focuses on elements of playfulness, creativity, human connection, and group dynamics. We'll learn to communicate and listen with our bodies in a way that is new and novel to many, and practice various strategies for how to initiate, enter, or leave a dance (both in duets and in larger groups). We will expand our non-verbal vocabulary by practicing how to mimic and influence each other both in physical contact and without physical contact. After a series of facilitated exercises and contact games, we'll have a short open jam, and you will have the skills needed to flow easily from partner to partner and enjoy exploring and sampling the unique energies and styles of each amazing human in the room. ------------------------------------------ ➤ How it works: We open with a special warmup yoga or movement class facilitated by a skilled practitioner.
