Touch Junkies

Today I participated in a six hour touch session. Contact improvisation. There was a lot of rolling and luckily some laughter. Tonight I go blues dancing. I hope I don’t get confused and start rolling on people tonight, sticking my butt into their stomach and enouraging them to give me their weight…rolling the top of my head along their torso. In the worshop I ended up in a handstand at some point – the tops of my toes in the palms of someone’s hands. I would love to take a CI partner to the blues dance floor and just watch everyone around us trying not to look at my toes over their partner’s shoulders. One time when Jason and I were talking about competing in a lindy hop contest he had a moment of panic, “If we have a spotlight dance I won’t know what to do! I don’t have things to do just on cue like that! I would just have to lie down on the floor and start doing snow angels! I would just yell ‘Snow Angel’ and  we’d both just have to lie down and start doing them!”
