Come join us for an evening of Contact Dance. What is Contact Dance, you ask?
It is a modern dance form that evolved in the mid-twentieth century and that involves two, or more, people maintaining a point of contact, while giving and taking weight. Some describe it as a “moving massage.” I believe that it pushes the envelope, - that it challenges an individual to move beyond preconceived notions and into the realm of “letting go.”
No matter what your skill level, this class is for everyone. During the hour and a half, it will not matter if you are a novice beginner or a seasoned dancer. We will all come together in the spirit of trying something new.
With humor and candor, we will explore simple techniques that will get us moving, first individually. At a comfortable pace, we will move towards contact with another, or others. You will not be asked to perform more than you are capable of, or wish to.
cara is a movement practitioner who, with great encouragement and positive energy, will attempt to coax you out of your shell. She promises that, if anything at all, you will have fun. Now, what more could you ask for? Come on down, and try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
