Cocréa - Embracing life as a dance, Cocréa is a continually evolving holistic movement modality intended to bring individuals into strong, empowered, expressive relationships with their bodies. Based in the structure common to many of the world’s social partner dances – mainly American vernacular Jazz dance, as well as the spontaneous play of improvisational theater, dancers invite and allow an easeful flow of ideas to emerge through listening and responding in presence to the moment. With its origins in the Fusion partner dance movement, which has been hugely inspired by the resistance dances of Blues, Swing, Hip-Hop as well as Cuban Salsa and Tango, the practice is to meet one another where we are, join and blend energies and engage in an explorative movement dialogue working towards liberation of the body and the co-creation of coherence and ultimately unity. As we hone this dynamic, kinetic toolbox, we emphasize connection, communication and creative expression between two people within a community of others. www.nomaddance.com/about/cocrea/ Sweet's Ballroom is closed for a Kids Theater Play for this night only. The Grand Ballroom, located just 5 blocks down Broadway is a Great Room that was used back in 2009 for a spell for Ecstatic Dance Oakland.
