About this event

Class theme - Head First!

We'll have an hours class and an hours dance practice (a 'jam'). We'll be exploring movement using contact in the head, neck and shoulders. By setting up movement in the spine from the head, we can allow it to flow through our bodies, into our dance partners and the space around us. Please wear loose clothing and bring a water bottle. Do not attend if you have any symptoms of Covid-19. Thank-you.

This is our maxim: All life a dance; everyone a dancer; every moment a dance

All sales are online

Contact improvisation is a dance which originated in the 1970’s and which has now spread throughout the world. It’s often taught in university dance courses but it’s easy to learn and fun. It’s an improvised dance – a dialogue in movement – which has a fluid and dynamic form.

What does social dancing in contact improvisation (a 'jam') look like? See (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_quWWSoDvnk

We welcome musicians and anyone who wants to accompany the jam with music. Just bring your instrument and improvise with the dancing.

Location

We use the dojo - a martial arts hall for Aikido (a space with mats) that is located at the back of the community centre. If you are the front of the building, facing the the front door on the street then walk to your left and around the building. Continue up the driveway at the side of the building. There is an open gate on your right, into the back yard. The door to the dojo is open - come straight in.
