Welcome to Contact Improv Jam Nights in Ottawa! Contact improv (CI) is the dance of physics, where we experience the joy of dancing in contact with others while experimenting with gravity, weight sharing, rolling, falling, and flying. We will be open jamming to a music playlist on a sprung dance floor! The jam is open to all levels. There is no class, so it is strongly encouraged that you have some CI experience before attending.

Jam Guidelines:

2. Diversity: This is a body-positive space that is open to people of all identities and backgrounds. Please extend respect to everybody in the space. There is a zero tolerance policy for any form of harassment.
3. Responsibility of care: You are responsible for caring for your needs, and for caring for the needs of others in the space. We are all responsible for making this space a safer space to jam in.
4. Substance free: This is a sober event. Please do not attend if you are intoxicated on any substances.
5. Talking: You are free to communicate during the jam. However, if you want to have a loud social conversation, please take it into the foyer out of the jam space, so that others aren’t disrupted in their dances.
Clothing and Water Bottles:
• Only water bottles with a lid are allowed in the studio. No glass please!
• No street shoes in the studio. We dance barefoot.
• Bring loose-fitting pants that cover the knees. Avoid wearing zippers, slippery clothing, or jewellery as they can make contact dancing difficult.
