Video description: Sofia wears black adidas pants and a blue vest over a freeskewl shirt. Em wears blue adidas pants and a denim button down. They share weight and move through space as they mark through some new material. Rubblebucket’s Raining plays in the background. The space is bright with white walls and curtains and a beautiful wood floor.

Use physical touch and partnered movement to perform feats of power, to practice consent, to explore our wildness, to experience togetherness, and to find new ways of relating to each other in this class about dancing with other bodies. Em Papineau & Sofia Engelman hope you leave 2019 feeling like a badass.
