Everything is an organisation

In this book, the organisations are the body and the class: muscles, memory and music coordinated within each dancer, and dancers coordinated with each other.

Inside the book

D1 · Discovery

See the many ways to dance

Performing has become the default meaning of dance. Notice who keeps the spotlight on, and what looking effortless costs the body.

D2 · Dream

Move for joy, health and connection

Define success without an audience: return visits, healthy bodies, people moving together.

D3 · Design

Design spaces where performing is optional

Let people move at their own pace, come and go freely, and say in plain words what a class offers.

D4 · Defend

Keep it open

Watch for performance creeping back. Build for lasting, not for impressive.

Finish with a plan

The book closes by setting up a Todoist project called Organise Dance, with a section for each D and the Habit Tracker integration switched on.
