Weekly Contact Dance Improv Classes

Classes take place Friday nights, 8-9pm, before DanceJam
Taught by Cara Cadwallader
Cost: $10 includes admission to DanceJam
This class is for everyone regardless of skill level.

SIX WEEK SERIES begins June 20; only $45 includes class & jam!

With humor and candor, we explore simple techniques that get us moving, first individually, and then towards contact with others. You will only be expected to perform what you are capable of, or wish to. Cara promises that, if anything at all, you will have fun.

Cara Cadwallader is a movement practitioner who, with great encouragement and positive energy, will attempt to coax you out of your shell.

What is Contact Improvisation?

Contact Improvisation is a moving massage. It is a dance that fine tunes your senses and wakes up your ability to listen and respond to what is happening in the moment. If you could do Aikido, surf, wrestle and dance at the same time, you would have an idea of what Contact Improvisation feels like. What makes Contact different from other dance is that partners are often moving in and out of physical contact while rolling, spiraling, springing and falling. They find ways to "enjoy the ride" and improvise while mutually supporting and following each others movements. The dancing is unpredictable and inspired by the physical and energetic contact the partners share. -- Ernie Adams, Berkeley, CA,
