Cocréa Foundations Training | Austin, TX📍 Balance Dance Studios, Austin, TX
📅 Nov 6–8, 2026
Fri 6pm–9pm
Sat 12pm–7pm
Sun 11am–4pm
Do you desire a greater sense of connection in your dances and in your life? Do you want to feel more confident, present and grounded in your dance technique with others and with yourself? Do you want tools for reliably accessing that connection in your dance and life that you can readily and easily share with others?
Using a synthesis of techniques from multiple social partner dance styles as our common language, the aim of this training is to anchor foundational aspects of Fusion partner dance into your body as muscle memory — using our minds for training and practice to get to a place where we think less, do less and be more.
Approaching partner dance from both a Fusion and Mindfulness lens, the aspects we'll focus on to develop this joyful embodied presence are:
🌀 Rhythm & Musicality
🌀 Frame Connection / Attunement
🌀 Tone & Situational Awareness (Change)
🌀 Momentum & Inertia
🌀 Floor Craft
🌀 Rotation & Spirals
🌀 Style & Play
Believing in life as a dance, Cocréa is a continually evolving holistic movement modality intended to bring individuals into strong, empowered, expressive relationships with their bodies and their communities — a somatic methodology for recognizing patterns, embracing change and living our authentic Selves.
You don't need to be an experienced partner dancer, though some movement experience is recommended. This training is also a prerequisite for anyone considering the Cocréa Facilitator Training (optional).
