LAURA BESCHI & ALESSIO SCANDALE | BETWEENUS PARTNERING PRACTICE
“Betweenus” is the space created when dancing together, where the priority is to express confidence, listening, and respect so that each person feels comfortable and able to give their best. When the “betweenus” connection is strong, dancing together becomes more fun, easier, and more fulfilling, leading to better results. The practice is intense and energetic, ranging from studying partnering and contact elements to exercises for strengthening and mobility for expanding awareness and movement quality. Improvisation will be the tool for developing listening, intuition, communication and creativity. additionally, learning stimulating duets will provide an opportunity to have fun and put the experienced knowledge into practice. The focus will always be on the quality of interaction, creating an harmonious connection with the partner, valuing each person’s uniqueness and encouraging the use of feedback as a tool for mutual growth. The goal of this practice is to improve awareness, listening, and technical skills, in order to gain more confidence in dancing together.
