Last month Sean from NY and I taught a contact improv and blues workshop. We had twenty people there, and so much fun that we’re teaching another workshop this month.
Come join us February 14th!
This intimate workshop focuses on individual progressions of dance through contact improv and blues fusion. We will start with some contact improv and blues warm-ups and progress into weight sharing and counter-balancing, playing with how tension and release can bring new dynamics to your dance. We’ll use the theory from contact improv to explore creating your own fluid, safe, lifts and dips.
If you came last month, we hope to see you again — we’ll be exploring different material. If you missed out, here’s your chance to join us!
No partner needed. All levels — some experience with blues dance or contact improv expected.
