The Earthdance New Years Contact Improv Jam: Frosted air, frozen ground, and blazing fires. As winter swirls outside, we come together on the dance floor to find new connections through Contact Improvisation, co-creating five days of magic, intimacy, warmth, and dancing celebration. Workshops, performances, bonfires, and nonstop jamming ring in the New Year with utter joy at our biggest Jam of the year. Bodies radiate heat, fog the windows, and co-create a weekend of magic, intimacy, and celebration.

This Jam tends to fill quickly, so register early!

Experience steamy dancing in the umbrella barn overlooking a snow-filled meadow, a blazing New Year's Eve bonfire under bright winter stars, and rituals of renewal and promise. This is one of Earthdance's largest contact jam events – a dynamic, rich, and meaningful way to ring in the New Year, not to mention a great place to decompress after the holidays. If you're new to Earthdance or an old friend, please come join us. All levels of experience welcome.

The Jam is usually full by Thanksgiving (USA), so please register early.
