The Embrace Lab:
Heart led partner dancing
Eight videos. Heart guided partner dance.
Curious about partner dance but find yourself overthinking it before you even start?
Have you felt that longing to fully surrender and allow yourself to be guided, but find yourself stuck on the edge of letting go?
This series guides you out of your head, through your heart and into your body, and then into genuine connection with another person, through a practice so rooted and so alive that the dance arrives on its own.
"I always lead. I want to tap into the energetics of being led.
Of being receptive. Responsive."
If something in you recognized that, this series is an invitation to slow down just enough to actually feel into the space where that experience lives. Not to give up your power, but to discover what becomes available when you start from a place of authentic connection and let the conversation between two bodies find its own way.
This is what heart guided partner dance opens up. Not technique. Not choreography. The felt sense of being genuinely met by another person and moving from there.
A conversation rooted in deep listening
The Heartstring Series begins where most partner dance classes never go, into the heart space, engaging with the breath, and attuning to the subtle current that is already moving within us and between us before anyone takes a step.
When you learn to move from that place, something shifts. It stops feeling like a performance and actually becomes a dialogue we are co-creating. Like presence meeting presence, creating the space for the dance to emerge on its own.
No choreography to memorize. No steps to get right. Just two people, a little space between them, and the golden thread of connection that has always been there waiting to be felt.
01 Arrive in yourself
Before contact with another, we return to the body, the breath, the spirals and waves and circles that are already moving through you.
02 Feel the conversation
Connection begins in the space before touch. The Heartstring Tug teaches you to attune to another person's breath, rhythm and subtle energy before you even make contact.
03 Lead from the heart
The hand is never really leading. It is the furthest expression of what the heart is already saying, a messenger carrying an invitation from one center to another.
04 Let the dance find you
When the connection is real, nobody is leading and nobody is following. The dance arrives on its own and takes you somewhere neither of you planned to go.
Eight videos. One complete journey.
Each session builds on the last. Move through the series with a partner or on your own, at your pace, whenever life opens up the space. No experience needed. Just the willingness to listen deeply and feel something real.

Us…Dani & Garnet
Together we have been leading movement and embodiment work for more than 30 years and have taught in over 20 countries. Live classes and events, retreats, trainings, workshops and more. The Heartstring Series grew out of a practice we have been discovering together, one that keeps revealing itself every time we dance together, each time we teach it and always when we return to it ourselves.
We created this series because we kept meeting the same person. Someone deeply intelligent, fully present in their mind, capable of extraordinary connection, who had simply never been given a doorway into this particular kind of listening. Into the conversation that happens through the body before the language gets technical.
What we are offering here is simply what we have found works for us, and what we have watched open something real in the people we have shared it with.
From the opening meditation to the final guided journey, this series is designed to meet you on every level — body, breath, heart and presence — and walk you all the way through.
