About this Event
COLOURS IN CONTACT: STREETCON
It's time to merge two of our great loves! Dance and this beautiful city of Toronto! Every step can be an invitation to curiousity and expression. Explore our city as a playground for self expression, rather than just transportation from point A to point B as we hustle through life.
Learn new skills, get back into your body, meet cool people, and soak in that spring time energy as it rises in this diverse city of our's. We're so excited to dance with you, and enjoy the rhythm of this city together.

ABOUT CONTACT IMPROV: Contact Improvisation (CI) is a partner/solo/group-improvised dance style developed in 1972 by Steve Paxton and Nancy Stark Smith, heavily influenced by Aikido and Modern dance. Due to the open-ended nature of the dance, each new dancer can add to this pot of creativity. This has lead to various influences weaving in and out of the form. Some of those influences include but are not limited to Tango, Zen, Zouk, Contemporary, Ballet, Hip Hop, Qi Gong, Capoeira, Ballroom, Salsa and the list goes on. This is the beauty of CI: it can offer such an open fertile ground for exploration in expression and movement. Your voice in this dance is what will drive the creative freedom possible at Colours in Contact.
