Dance as a Bridge to Human Connection - Episode #56
Welcome to episode #56 of "The Oriental Café" podcast with Marianne Jost, Relationship Coach & Partner Dance/Movement, and Joana Saahirah, your host.
In this episode, we explore dance as a tool for human connection, the polarity that connects us to others - I versus Us -, the importance of presence, listening, control and surrender. We also talk about Marianne´s work as a Couple Dance Therapist, love versus power games, dance as a tool to become a better partner and human being.
This is, hands down, one of my favorite episodes of "The Oriental Café" podcast. What we share in this episode is real, human, and urgent.
