Class! Dance session for Contact Improvisation

From September, we're at the University Club for our regular sessions. Each one hour, from 7 - 8 pm on Tuesdays.

We alternate between a jam (dance session and practice session) and then a facilitated session ('class') which is suitable for everyone - beginners and experienced dancers.

In this class/facilitated session, we'll investigate the idea of 'legs as tail' and seeing how we can use this in our movement and stillness.

Note: our sessions are for adults 18+ years. You don't need to be a student to use the University Club. All welcome.

*About Contact Improvisation*

Contact improvisation is a dance which emerged in the 1970’s and which has now spread throughout the world. It’s often taught in university dance courses but it’s easy to learn and fun. It’s an improvised dance – a dialogue in movement – which has a fluid and dynamic form.
