ARAZA: The Art of Moving Together is a transformative dance practice that seamlessly merges contact improvisation, ecstatic movement, and meditative prayer held by Vincent Hardy. This form explores the profound interplay between self, the divine, and others through shared weight, responsive touch, and spiritual attunement. More than a technique, it is a sacred communion where two or more bodies become vessels of trust, connection, and freedom. Movements arise from a deep state of listening, inviting participants into surrender, vulnerability, and co-creation. In ARAZA Partnering, each interaction unveils the divine dance, an intimate reflection of unity and grace.
