Dancewrestling!
Embody Your Play
Dance wrestling is a playful practice that can help you develop a balanced sense of yourself in relation to another. It helps you slow down your mind, develop your ability to focus, and understand the energetics of connection.
It’s also supremely fun!
In dance wrestling, the goal isn’t to dominate or overcome one another. It’s a gentle yet intentional grapple that creates space for dynamic exchange.
Through the push and pull of embodied attention, you find your connection to your body and the present moment.
It’s an exploration of polarity and the masculine and feminine energies within ourselves and our partners.
There is no choreography, no dance steps to learn.
When you truly meet in the movement and the moment, you just flow. Dance wrestling looks and feels different with everyone.
You can’t do it wrong.
The purpose is to explore, and to activate and calibrate through play.
As technology speeds up, our minds do too. But this practice brings us back to the simplicity of our own innate rhythm.
Our bodies aren’t just along for the ride—they are the ride. They are highly sophisticated systems designed for connection, expression, and discovery.
Your body is divine technology, and dance wrestling helps you learn how to drive.
