Neshama is a Southern Jewish queer who is obsessed with country music, line dancing and home repair. They love the puzzle of fixing broken things at their day job as a handyma'am, and treasure getting to hold broken hearts at their queer country line dancing events. Nesh is excited to bring a Jewish embodiment framework into queer country line dance to foster deeper experiences of belonging on the dance floor.
