Contact Improvisation is a dance practice where movement is created spontaneously between two or more people through physical contact. It focuses on exploring the possibilities that arise when bodies connect, share weight, and respond to each other's movements in the moment.
For newcomers, it's an accessible and playful way to experience dance, emphasizing natural movement and connection without the need for prior dance training.
For experienced dancers, it offers a deep, creative space to investigate movement, awareness, and communication.
Whether you're new or seasoned, Contact Improvisation invites you to engage with others in a dynamic exploration of balance, trust, and shared motion.
