Vocabulary
Typical elements and their names are missing: --Amtiss, SNAFU ? 18:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * small dance
 * rolling point
 * pivoting

Initial section could use a rewrite
Lead section is confusingly and non-objectively written, using some flowery language and jargon. Examples:
 * "oscillating"
 * "explore and push boundaries"
 * "this new practice"
 * "plays with the artistry"
 * "finding the shelves of the body"
 * "getting to know your partner past the physical point through the physicality"

Could use a more straightforward re-write.

Also has some pretty excess use of bolding.
