Allison Jones, a long-time contra dancer, shares her story of developing body confidence through dance, and how that has enhanced her social confidence on and off the dance floor. We talk about nonverbal cues for setting physical boundaries, body sovereignty, and body positivity. Allison has been contra dancing for almost a decade. She has taught the lesson for beginners at community contra dances for six years, and she is a past president of the Board of Louisville Country Dancers, the nonprofit that sustains contra dancing in Louisville, Kentucky.
