🌟 Navigating Intimacy: A Workshop for Awareness, Connection & Respect on the Dance Floor (and Beyond)
What does it really mean to feel safe, seen, and respected in a partner dance?
How do our gender roles, social conditioning, and personal experiences shape the way we move, perceive, and connect?
It’s time to have the conversations we all feel but rarely voice.

🔥 Introducing “Navigating Intimacy” — A transformative, judgment-free workshop designed for dancers and non-dancers alike who want to deepen their understanding of respectful connection, consent, and awareness.
Whether you’re a lead or follow, man, woman, or nonbinary — this experience invites you to:
• Reflect, discuss, and move with more awareness.
• Explore how gender roles and trauma shape our boundaries, perceptions, and expectations.
• Learn to recognize non-verbal cues and respect them in real time.
• Gain tools to distinguish between intentional harm and innocent ignorance — and respond with compassion and accountability.
• Discover the Wheel of Consent, a powerful framework that shifts how we think about giving, receiving, allowing, and taking — both on the dance floor and off.
⸻
đź§  What to Expect:
• Facilitated Dialogue & Retrospective: A brave and respectful space for open conversation across gendered perspectives.
• Lab Activities & Demonstrations: Interactive exercises to embody and explore consent, communication, and comfort.
• Insightful Frameworks: Unpack value systems, trauma responses, social awkwardness, and the difference between discomfort and danger.
⸻
đź’¬ This is not a call-out session.
This is not about blame or shame.
This is for anyone who wants to:
• Be a safer, more respectful dancer and partner.
• Cultivate trust and connection in social spaces.
• Be a positive force in their community.
• Lead (or follow) with awareness, compassion, and care.
⸻
✨ Who Should Attend?

• Follows and women who want to be heard, empowered, and included in shaping better culture.
