Gavotte des Montagne | Chain Dynamics & Space Management in Breton Dances (Full Workshop)

In this full, one-hour masterclass, we do a deep dive into the Gavotte des Montagnes, a complex and dynamic Breton folk dance.
This session was taught as part of a larger workshop on space management. We use the Gavotte as a living laboratory to explore how a group manages space, how chain dynamics work in motion, and how each individual dancer is responsible for the moving whole.
This is a key exploration in my "Transformative Arts" mission: to see dance not just as steps, but as a powerful, interactive system for connection and self-awareness.

HOW TO WATCH THIS VIDEO:
For Dancers: This is a deep dive into advanced technique, musicality, and the specific spatial dynamics of the Gavotte.
For Everyone Else: I invite you to see this not just as a dance, but as a system in motion. Look for the patterns, the communication, and the way individuals cooperate to create something beautiful together.
