Contact Improv
Contact Improvisation
Contact Improvisation is a dance discipline of spontaneity that fine tunes your senses and enhances your ability to listen, respond and move to what is happening in the moment. What makes Contact different from other dance is that partners are often moving in and out of physical contact with each other while rolling, spiraling, springing and falling. They find ways to improvise while mutually supporting and following each other’s movements. The dancing is unpredictable and inspired by the physical and energetic contact the partners share.
