[Perform-Talk] How to Dance

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Just explore the space, baby! LOL!

I just do what I always did now that I'm blind, usually understanding how to move my body when something is described. Sorry, not much help, I know.

One thing I struggle with is orientating myself when dancing. I'm totally blind, and when I move, I think I have my orientation, usually to discover my body has been moving in various positions even when doing actual dance moves, and I have to get my bearings. Even at home, I find I will have moved in a direction I didn't intend. This does get frustrating.

Hi all,
 So I’ve been wondering just how a blind person learns how to   dance for particular genres of music if they have never learned before?
 
If you knew how to dance before you lost your vision how did you  dance after vision loss?

 Thanks,
  Darian
