Experience the transformative power of Dance, Contact Improvisation (CI), and deep Somatic work through a unique journey designed to bring more presence, joy, freedom, and connection into your life. This program weaves together dance, connection through informed contact dance and bodywork, and the use of improvisational scores to deepen our dance research and refine our capacity for presence.
What this immersion will do for you:
* develop your artistry and courage in your dance
* integrate information in the body for developing more nuance, technical skills, and possibility within dancing CI, Solo, and group improvisation
*Welcome you into a dedicated practice group.
*Encourage you to embrace your challenges and growth edges of your CI and movement improvisation practice.
4-Session Mini Program: Exploring Key Themes in Dance & CI
Each session in this 4-part series (3 hours per session) will dive into fundamental principles of gravity, breath, energy, effort, and explore the nervous system muscle tone.
Three hour long spacious session will support integration of material and will take the time to dive in to the body and the breath so that the learned threads go beyond the class and seep into the day and week.
In each session there will be a guided open warm up to allow your Body-mind-spirit to arrive fully before delving into specific Somatic practice, which will evolve into CI and
Dance research, culminating in more open lab-like Improvisational Scores.

Session Themes:
🔹 Gravity & Breath – Discover how to experience weightlessness and integrate breath seamlessly into small lifts.
🔹 Energy & Effort – Explore the balance between activating, leading, and inviting movement, while embracing surrender and flowing with what is already present.
🔹 Tonal Range in the Body & Nervous System – Learn how to modulate muscle tone and shift weight efficiently, tapping into the body's innate intelligence for smooth transitions.
This immersive series will deepen your understanding of somatic awareness, develop your courage in your authentic Dance and movement style, and allow for more dynamic movement choices in partner work and solo practice.
