A dance where both / all people are following. Following what? The moving point of balance; momentum. You’re also following your impulse, which is to say anyone can inject moments of leading. Can be slow or fast, simple or athletic. It can be like partner tai chi (but generally without any hint of combat), like partner gymnastics (but improvised), like partner yoga (but generally moving), like acro yoga (but with the base also moving, and roles frequently organically switching / dissolving), like intimate tango (Argentine, not ballroom), etc.  Duos, trios, and more. A somatic practice; a movement meditation. No partner required.

I put together a one-minute video showing some of the possibilities.  … The video won’t embed in an Event post, so see it at danceorangeville.com/contact-improv instead.

In the Dance Studio at ODSS high school.* Want to attend?  Let us know: contact. 

We hope to run contact improv events every month but other opportunities are competing for our time, so let us know of your interest and we’ll try to make something work for everyone interested.
