Is It Time to Rethink How We Use Touch in the Studio?

Dance Magazine: From our creative movement classes to our final bow, dancers' bodies are handled countless times by teachers, choreographers and other dancers. Because physical contact is so omnipresent in dance, it has traditionally been assumed that when you enter the studio you have agreed to be touched. But we live in a changing time when consent is getting the credence it deserves, largely because of the #MeToo movement's exposure of abuse both inside and outside of dance.
