Explore the intricate dynamics of desire & trust through the art of counterbalance, weight sharing & dance of masculine and feminine.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant warmth of summer with A’lan and Angela. This three-hour event explores the intricate dynamics of desire and trust through the art of counterbalance, sharing weight and masculine/feminine energy in a dance of partnered support and coordination.
