Looking forward to Ottawa hosting the Ontario Regional Contact Jam but feeling a bit rusty? New to contact improv and hoping to learn some new skills and gain confidence? Come join Alexis Andrew for four fun and engaging contact improvisation dance classes.
These classes will focus on sharing weight, changing levels, lifts, falls and other basic techniques in a safe and enjoyable environment. We will look at how to find pathways into and out of duets in a jam setting and scores to enliven your dancing.
Saturdays April 7, 14, 21, 28
12:30-2:00
Cost: $40
No drop-ins!! Please register for all four classes by March 30. I need to know that there will be enough people to run the classes.
