Join us for 8 weeks of Contact Improvisation, honing in on the physical part of this practice.
These 2hr weekly classes lean on developing by practice and repetition, to build confidence and train the body. The first two classes have the option of dropping in, thereafter the remaining 6 classes will be a closed group. Each class will consist of:

Expect a fun, dynamic, focused class with opportunities to improve mobility and advance skills. Exercises repeat throughout each week with options/adaptions according to skill levels as we move through the weeks.
