Contact Improvisation is a partner dance form with safe touch as  the 
foundation for connecting with others in a playful intimate  way. 
Through the physical principles of touch, momentum, and weight  sharing, 
this movement practice explores the skills of falling,  rolling, 
counterbalance, lifting using minimal effort, centering  and breathing 
techniques, and responsiveness to our partners and  surroundings. 
Together we create a safe space to explore these  skills and let our 
curiosity and joy lead the dance. * There is a  sweet surrendering that 
happens when our bodies stay faithful to  what is happening now, and 
now... and NOW! In my classes  participants learn to recognize and 
differentiate the subtle  impulses in our choices and our partner's 
choices. We begin to  decipher the cues that we give and receive which 
tell us when to  lead or follow, where to touch, how to lift, when to 
slow down, and  when to be still. Learn to stay in integrity with each 
choice,  never forcing, never rushing. When Body, Mind, and Spirit are  
united in their instinctive wisdom we find our-selves at home in  every 
moment expressing our true nature.
