£5 donation to homeless charity Crisis

Join this dance session for dancing contact improvisation to celebrate 3 years of Oxford Contact Dance! There is also a introductory class at 2pm if you're interested. We're suggesting a £5 donation to the Crisis homeless charity for attendance but it's not obligatory.

Contact improvisation is a dance which originated 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, and it’s social dancing; not stage dancing. Suitable for everyone, whatever your age, gender or dancing experience.

Please bring a water bottle and wear loose clothing in which you can move freely.
