Partnering:
Couples dancing skills are a must for a variety of reasons. Partnering increases sensitivity to another individuals' personal space while building trust and interdependence without verbal communication.

Dancing with Horses:
Dancers on the horses are given an opportunity to deepen their connection to the horses, and therefore develop an ability to ride more expressively and with increased balance and harmony. Dancers on/with horses develop a greater sense for deep listening, the ability to become more highly aware when moving in partnership. Centaur Stable gives an opportunity for dancers to dance with horses.
