Hello!

Come join me for an evening of exploring contact dance through breath!

We will play with how breath can affect our touch, speed and agility when moving through space together whilst also focusing on how breath can help us to soften into the body allowing us to be kind to our joints and muscles.

This will be a short class, the space will be available from 5 o’clock so please be warm and ready to move at 5:30!
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.

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