Dancing contact improvisation at Oxford Contact Dance

In this session we will explore lifting using minimal effort, how to make ourselves light when being lifted, and finding natural places of connection on our bodies for ease of flow. Together we'll create a safe lifting experience for all while letting our curiosity lead the dance.

Every monthly session begins with an introductory class and concludes with a practice jam, using the skills taught during the class. This month's session will be taught by Michelle Azdajic with music by Malcom Atkins.

Contact Improvisation is a dance which originated in the 1970s and which has now spread throughout the world. It's a dialogue in movement which has a fluid and dynamic form, and it's social dancing; not stage dancing. Suitable for everyone, whatever your age, gender or dancing experience.

Please wear loose clothing in which you can move freely and bring a bottle of water. Note that the session is in the Richard Benson Hall at St. Mary & St. John's Church, 276 Cowley Road, OX4 1UR.
Street parking is available.

***PLEASE NOTE that the session is in the building adjacent to the church and not inside the church itself*** (Further info including photo of the building: https://bensonhall.org/)
