Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 10/2025

DaNCING𓂃BaND is both an artwork and a practice — a professional method for cultivating attention, relational intelligence, and presence through guided movement.

Each box contains 13 handcrafted elastic loop bands made from natural rubber latex. These are intended for gentle, guided movement among pairs and groups, for personal and profesional learning contexts, and are not fitness, therapeutic or medical devices.
