Strong Connections
In both relationships and dance, having a strong frame is essential. When someone tries to dance with "noodle arms," their frame is so loose that their partner has nothing to work with. A strong frame requires tone—holding your own arms up to connect and creating balanced resistance that supports both partners. Without it, the connection crumbles, and neither can keep the flow alive.
Relationships mirror this dynamic. If either partner is too afraid to speak up or overly abrasive, the foundation becomes too weak to build on. A strong connection allows for improvisation—a natural flow where each partner can send and respond with ease.
-
Strengthening your connection means:
-
Showing up with emotional and mental presence.
-
Holding space for open communication—balancing vulnerability and strength.
-
Creating mutual trust and a shared rhythm through consistent effort.
