Jive Talking: Dancing to Improve Your Communication Skills

In the animal kingdom, honeybees communicate with each other by dancing. So do we. Dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the body – at the same time organized movement, language, and a system of guidelines for social situations. As our world is becoming increasingly digital, Jaycee Gossett has found that our youth has lost those skills that were once developed on the dance floor – reading your partner, leading and following – and discusses how we can improve relationships by exploring these subtleties. “There’s something so beautiful about getting into the arms of somebody and sharing a connection with the music and the dancing,” Jaycee says. “You just leave everything behind and you enjoy the moment.”

Dance-formation: Move Your Team

Is your group in need of a jolt? Are their spirits down, job performance lacking, fun quotient in need of a fix? Let Jaycee Gossett take you on an experiential journey, using dance to teach team-building skills. Whether your group is a workplace, a college, a hospital, Jaycee will use dance to break down barriers and help building come together in new ways as a team. “Dance is teamwork, but there still has to be someone leading the way,” says Jaycee. This highly interactive workshop can accommodate small groups up to 100.
