Sometimes when I’m presenting or teaching my Creative Movement Workshops I can feel some hesitation and apprehension in the air.
People do not know what to expect and are a little shy.
But once I break out the balls, usually tennis and medicine balls people relax a bit and become very willing to play and explore.

Experiment with these and let me know what you come up with.
