Cocréa: Mindful Partner Dance offers a vibrant and transformative practice centered on connection, communication, and presence between partners, set within a community of fellow dancers. This practice is designed to be adaptable to any dance environment life presents. By letting intuition and feeling guide their movements and relying on their body’s strength and clarity, participants can experience profound joy through harmonious movement with another.
Drawing from the rich traditions of social partner dance styles such as Blues, Salsa, and Tango, Cocréa integrates elements of mindfulness, somatics, cultural depth, and technical skill. The practice encourages participants to invite, allow, acclimate, and relax into increasingly deeper levels of listening and attuned interaction.
Facilitated by Wren LaFeet, Cocréa is crafted to foster trust and create a supportive space where dancers can flow freely and safely. Over its 14-year history, the practice has gained acclaim as “the next evolution of conscious dance,” thanks to its emphasis on intimacy, empowering practices, and immersive soundtracks.
Participants in Cocréa will:
- Experience a dynamic dance practice focused on deep connection and presence
- Engage in mindful movement informed by a blend of traditional dance techniques
- Enter a flow state within a safe and nurturing environment
- Explore the joy of dancing in harmony with a partner while being supported by a community
- Benefit from intimacy practices and rich, evocative music that enhances the dance experience
