Class Description

Layers of the dance

In this class I want to look at fascia in the body how it can support us in the dance. The multi directional possibility of movement from the fascia system allow us to move in any direction at any one time, we can use these possibilities to stay committed to the dance, to let the body lead us and allow things to unfold form that place.

The Jam

A jam is an informal gathering of dancers. There is no teacher, but space and time to develop skills and confidence. You are free to dance, rest, or sit and watch, as you wish. The jam provides an opportunity to explore and integrate techniques you have learned, and to find your own routes into dancing.

At some jams a teacher will facilitate a score to follow such as a focused (silent) jam, the Underscore (developed by Nancy Stark-Smith), or a blindfold (or eyes-closed) jam, this will normally be advertised via our regular mailout – so sign-up if you want advance notice.

  • Live musicians will improvise with the dancing at many of the jams.
