Contact Improv is an playful movement improvisation that is explored in contact with others. By using the fundamentals of sharing weight, balance and attunement we find ways to move together. This practice develops sensitivity to our own and others movements and how they can relate harmoniously to each other.

On this Sunday Leonie & Clarissa will offer a short and sweet beginners intro to Contact Improv class to make your jamming experience even more enjoyable.
If you have never been in a jam, or have no previous experience this class is for you. 

In the jam we come together to dance, exploring Contact Improvisation in a playful and respectful way towards out own bodies and those of others. 
We will open the jam with some guidance, and then let the creativity and exploration of the movers and dancers fill the space!
