Dance 440 Experience

Today was a very interesting day in dance. This would be my 440 dance class at BYU that i am talking about. Every Friday we have a "contact improve" dance day. I love these days. We create what ever we want. Today we started out dancing in three's. One girl would lye on the floor while the other two manipulate her arms and legs. The girl lying on the floor had the asignment to be vulnerable and relax. Her assignment was to shut the eyes and let the others move her body for her. It was an incredible experience. I discovered some places my leg had not visited in awhile and it felt good. After a min or two of this, it turned into more of a manipulative situation. The two girls controlling the third would just touch and she would react. Sooner or latter it turned into a contact improve dance between all three. We did this three times so that each girl would get a chance on the floor. I loved this activity! It helped remind me that it is ok to give your weight sometimes and let someone else be in control. I'm such a control freak and like to control situations like this. It was a very good reminder.
