**************
"Wake up your Improviser, Soften your Body, Hone your Skills.
This class is an open level class, for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. In a safe and grounded space we'll visit some fundamental Contact skills and awareness exercises. We'll cultivate these with enough subtlety for the seasoned dancer of Contact.
Classes will include long, luscious warm-ups and plenty of dancing. Deepening our connection with the form, we'll find greater ease in being upside down and explore new possibilities for lifts and ledges. These explorations will be supported by experiential anatomy, which develops our structural understanding of the body."
