AN INTIMATE DANCE: JOURNEYS THROUGH MOVEMENT AND TOUCH is a feature-length documentary following the lives of three people on and off the dance floor. Albert, a skeptical beginner, is drawn to the embodied presence and connection of a dance form called contact improvisation.

Rythea, a professionally trained dancer, is catapulted into a journey of self-discovery and healing.Each practices connecting with others across a point of physical contact, finding safety within the body, learning to be a witness to their own experience.
