Fascinating Foundations of Contact Improvisation

Good Morning Dancers! In one month from now, another CI Foundations workshop will be happening... I would love you to join us! Space is limited, so to register now, please visit movinggracearts.com for more details or email me (Mia) at [email protected]
Equal parts playful and potent... I believe this practice can bring life-changing healing, and life-giving joy! I hope you'll take the leap into the warm and gentle waters of relational movement magic with us.
From previous foundations participants:
"I always felt scared to dance with others, because I was scared to be seen. This workshop has helped me learn how to let myself be seen and move into a curious/vulnerable place with my movement in connection with others.
If you've ever been interested in CI, but were not sure how to approach it, don't hesitate to sign up for this workshop. It goes beyond foundational movments and into the energetics of what actually happens in CI. I came not knowing if I'd be able to comfortably dance in a CI space and left feeling open hearted and excited to participate in future jams. Mia is an amazing teacher! Everything was amazing. Great experience!!!"
~. Alexa Glore
I came away inspired to be softer, more authentic, and more free in my body. Thank you for your beautiful teaching and for holding a container for such intimacy and openness was so unique. What an amazing weekend!
~ Jennifer Hammill
I have taken this CI foundations class twice and both times were different and very informative for my body. Always something new to learn/experience when relating to my body and the bodies of others.

I felt deeply held and witnessed by her and the others participating. I cannot recommend this class enough. If you have a curiosity and a pull towards contact improv this is the class to deepen that curiosity within. ~ Alina Simpson
I grew much more confident in myself in this form, and functionally learned more about it and how I can relate to it. Plus, some freaking life lessons! since everything in CI applies to life.
~ Claire Williamson
"it was such a marvelous experience! We feel transformed in our bodies and in the way we are moving together". ~ Laura and Jerome
CI is not something taboo or "hippie" based on some stereotype. It's truly a way to explore our body, connect authentically with ourselves and another. I felt very present and connected with my body and mind throughout the class. It's really eye opening, and beautiful." ~ Sunny Liu
I left the weekend feeling nourished, and like I had reconnected with the primary language of life. ~ Sandra Wanstall
