Amidst the personal and collective lockdown grief of 2020, I stumbled upon an unexpected corollary to my “I MISS DANCING IN PERSON SO FREAKING MUCH” tantrums & sorrow. And that was: despite more than a decade of fervent & dedicated community dancing there lurked within me a deeply buried, unacknowledged and/or summarily & repeatedly dismissed longing for a committed dance partnership in which I could learn and grow as a duet dancer. This startling revelation of what felt at the time like profound self-betrayal and which was initially accompanied by much weeping on the floor evolved into an inner resolve to conjure up an appropriate self-honoring remedy. It took more than a year and a few dead ends but by the fall of 2021 that remedy had found its form as a weekly “Dance Lab in the Barn” with fellow community dance member David Linden. (THANK YOU DAVID!)

This video serves as a little window into the duet dance that emerged. (Filmed by Jonah David at “The Barn” in Seekonk in the summer of 2023.)
