This is a two hour dance session for contact improvisation (which is also known as a jam!) without a class where you can dance, practice dancing and learn from others. All welcome.

Please wear loose clothing in which you can move freely and bring a bottle of water. Note: We'll use the MPR (Multi-Purpose Room) on the lower floor of the Club. Afterwards, we'll go for a drink.

We’re fundraising for dance training with Joerg Hassmann in Germany this coming January (2018), and we’re also crowdfunding too. For more details see: http://www.andrewdance.org/crowdfunder

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.
