 on\nContact improvisation is a form of improvised dancing that has been ev
 olving internationally since the 1970s. It explores our body’s relations
 hip to others by sharing weight\, touch\, and movement awareness.\nUsing p
 rinciples from martial arts of Aikido &amp\; TaiChi\, rock n roll partner 
 dancing and experimental performance art\, Contact improvisation plays wit
 h the artistry of falling off balance\, counterbalance\, finding the shelv
 es of the body\, understanding the anatomy of our body in order to carry s
 omeone else's weight or be lifted lightly. It also fine-tunes our percepti
 ve skills in communicating with each other through touch\, flow and spatia
 l awareness to practise the art of collective improvisation.\nThis class g
 uides you through floor-based movement improvisation into dynamic partner-
 work and collective dancing\, welcoming people with different bodies\, lev
 els and experiences. As there are no set moves\, it is a practice that hon
 ours and adapts to how different bodies move - beginners are very welcome\
 , as well as those who want to brush up their skills!\nAbout the teachers
