How to set & communicate boundaries? With Isabella MacKrill

Author: Kevin y Nika March 26, 2021 Duration: 54:14
Someone asks you for a dance and you turn them down. Maybe that person was not respecting your personal space or they were dancing in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable. But instead of being honest about why you turned them down you make up an excuse. Sounds familiar, right? But why is it so difficult for us to be honest about it? Why are we unable to clearly communicate our boundaries and that the other person overstepped them? This episode is all about setting boundaries and how to communicate them. With us today is an expert on the topic: Isabella form Australia, a lifelong dancer and now bachata sensual teacher. In her classes she puts a big focus on boundaries & safety. She is dedicated to fighting the stigma of not being able to say no, whether you just started your dance journey or you are already an established dancer.
