Art of Movement - Rough Body Dance (mixed)

Imagine … you are confronted with exciting tango music by another person. You lower your head, narrow your gaze, like a cat that targets it’s prey and begins to approach the other person in the rhythm with the music. In front of this person you start to stretch your hand very slowly and controlled forward, past the cheek and grab firmly into the hair, building tension – the game begins. The mouth opens slightly and the breath gets heavier. Dedication seems to please your partner. It can go on. You can now lead them through the room or with the other hand explore the body playfully, sometimes gently as a little caress, sometimes grabbing to get a little moan in response.

Explore your inner cat.
