Abstract
This article describes a form of group bodywork using a couple dance (the Argentine tango), which serves as a “container” for the experience and feelings of participants. The frame offered by the group and the dance facilitates awareness of and experimenting with posture, how participants move and sense their bodies, and how they relate to others through their bodies. The aim of the group is to access nonverbal levels of functioning using a vehicle that is more conducive to progressive rather than to regressive work. Dancing with a partner particularly opens up issues concerning the other, including meeting/leaving, guiding/ following, deciding/trusting, and so on. The title of this article also refers to the cocreative aspect of psychotherapy, an interactive process based on mutual listening and responding that is, in many ways, similar to a dance.
