Hugs & Squeezes//

Ralf Jaroschinski

Have you ever hugged someone in a Brazilian way? Have you ever had just your left thigh getting squeezed really tightly by someone? In this class, we’ll experiment with a few scores that will deal with hugging and squeezing in all kinds of ways, ranging from playful to sensual, and eventually find out which sorts of embraces we enjoy most.
