The area where two dancers touch and exchange weight; it's the physical connection that's maintained throughout the improvisation.

Instead of a static touch, the point of contact dynamically rolls or slides on the partner's body, allowing fluid movement and transitions.

A foundational principle where dancers support and share each other's weight, leading to lifts and balance off their own center.

One partner surrenders to the movements of the other, maintaining a connection and responding to their partner's direction and flow.

Initiating movement and direction in the dance, which the follower will respond to, creating a dialogue of movement.

Using each other's weight to create balance in a position that would be impossible alone.

Letting the body lose balance intentionally, knowing that the partner will provide support and follow through the movement.

One dancer elevates their partner off the ground, using principles of weight sharing and counterbalance to execute the lift safely.

Using the inertial force from movement to lead naturally into subsequent movements, making actions appear effortless.

Being attuned to one's partner's movements, touches, and weight shifts, creating a strong sense of presence and responsiveness.

Creating a moment of hang time or pause in the movement, often used to accentuate shifts in the dynamic or flow.

The quality of movement that allows for smooth and continuous motion, a key aspect of making connections and transitions seamless.

Maintaining a physical and mental connection to the floor, providing stability and a base for movements.

Using the rhythm and flow of breath to coordinate with movements, allowing for increased connection and communication.
