Class Description
Moments and Momentum
In my dance, I find movement that flows and then there is a moment when everything becomes still. In these moments there is a three dimensional sense of myself and everything around me. I would like to visit this place in our time together. We will begin with the floor and work our way out of the floor into playing with momentum, falls and small flights of fancy. See you there.

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.
