THE DANCE OF CONNECTIONUsing techniques from social partner dance as our common language, the aim of this training is to anchor foundational aspects of partner dance into your body as muscle memory.
The idea is to use our minds for training and practice to get to a place where we think less, do less and be more.
This being serves an emergent quality of 'lucid sensuousness' that feeds the connection we're after. It is vitalizing, nourishing and deeply renewing.
In a word: it is joy.

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
This training is a foundational deep-dive into the core principles, practices and structures of Cocréa that prime us for generating *reliably numinous experiences* on the dance floor without the help of substances.
aka: MAGIC
(now a scientific term!)
TRAINING DETAILS
As Cocréa is deeply informed by Wren’s early synthesis of American vernacular Jazz dance, Salsa and European Ballroom with contemporary music and rhythms from Hip-Hop, global bass & electronic music genres, there is a rich diversity of technique this training aims to integrate into the dancing body.
Though these techniques will be the primary focus of this training, attention will also be given to style and aesthetics in solo dance, as well as somatics that support and aid relational intelligence.
In addition to the above foundational partner dance techniques, we will also cover:
•Understanding Attunement and How to Apply it within the Six Realms of Connection
•Practicing Good Consent and Why It’s Essential for Awesome Dances & Connection
•Processing Change: The Invitation Circle
•Exploration of Posture and its Effect on Our Dance
•Musicality and its Impact on Dance Connection
This training is a pre-requisite for anyone considering the Cocréa Facilitator Training and Mentorship path.
HOWEVER…
You do not NEED to be pursuing the facilitator path to enroll.
It is intended for ANYONE who desires to utilize concepts and techniques from partner dance to increase their connection skills both on and off the dance floor.
This is an excellent training for anyone seeking a practice & discipline to improve their embodied connection skills.
You do not need to be an experienced partner dancer to get something out of this training, however some movement experience is recommended.
