You're invited! Dancing contact improvisation on Tuesday evenings in Oxford. Beginners and practiced dancers welcomed.
February 10, 17, 24 and March 3
Time: 7.00 – 8.00 pm.
These sessions are 'open practice sessions' where you can dance and jam. They're self organising. You can teach each other technique and work on your projects with others. There is a bluetooth speaker so you can play the music you like or indeed none at all.
Students and non-students welcomed to all our events. Please wear loose clothing and bring a water bottle.
Let us know if you have questions or particular needs (email: [email protected]). See our website and join our mailing list for events: http://www.contactdance.org
This is our maxim: All life a dance; everyone a dancer; every moment a dance

*About Contact Improvisation*
Contact improvisation is a dance which emerged 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.
