The NVC Dance Floors are spatial maps made up of large cards that place Nonviolent Communication (NVC) processes on the floor in various layouts called ‘dances’. Each card represents a step in a dance of self-connection and communication. These steps can be used in any sequence to support authentic and natural self-connection and communication.

People learning Nonviolent Communication (NVC) walk through the steps, often with coaching from a trainer, or support from people in their practice group.

There are nine ‘dances’, each designed to develop awareness and skills in a particular area of NVC. Four are ‘Inner-Outer Dances’ for role-playing a dialogue. Five are ‘Inner Dances’ for transformative inner processes.
