The focus is on the connection/communication/rhythm with our dancepartner. We dance and co-create with music ánd with silence ● dancing can happen in duo's, trio's, alone or with the whole space and group ● dances can last short or long ● when a dance partner leaves, my dance doesn't need to end, it can continue its flow, transform and find new chapters ● whenever you feel stuck: take a step, and the next one will find its way =) ● a contact improvisation jam is not a sexual or tantric oriented space. Let's keep the dance the focus! Foto credits: Rudy Carlier 🙏
