Initial section could use a rewrite edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Lead section is confusingly and non-objectively written, using some flowery language and jargon. Examples:

"oscillating"
"explore and push boundaries"
"this new practice"
"plays with the artistry"
"finding the shelves of the body"
"getting to know your partner past the physical point through the physicality"

Could use a more straightforward re-write.

Also has some pretty excess use of bolding.
