 <shaktismith at hotmail.com>hi, all!  the spring east coast jam is coming soon
- april 11th to the 15th - and we hope you're going to be dancing with
us.  we encourage you to register soon:

  http://eastcoastjam.com/SpringJam2007

we're on a special mission this year, to reduce the headaches that various
bodies suffer when dealing with inaccurate meal counts, while also
increasing the dancing bodies.  as an incentive to not delay registering
(and to place the responsibility on the people registering late), the
registration costs will increase *a few times* as the jam draws near:

   Increases
on Dates eg, adjusted cost for full attendance $0 before March 21 $295
(on-time registration) $25 March 21 - March 28 $320 $50 March 29 - April 10
$345 $75 (eek!)
April 11 - April 15 $370
it's not that we actually want anyone to pay more - we want people to
register early.  (it's only a few weeks until the first increase.)  hence
this reminder message, and handy-dandy instructions to register: send a
non-refundable deposit check paid to "East Coast Jam" for $50, along with a
complete registration
form<http://eastcoastjam.com/registration_form_spring_2007>to:

  Gary Kuntz
  PO Box 491
  Williamsburg, MA 01096

as ever, we would love for you to think about people you would like to dance
with, and pass the word along to them.  the more of us that do that, the
juicier it gets.

spin well, rise shining, and fall lightly,

ken, jamie, and sir gary.

  Surprise causes finite play to end; it is the reason for infinite play to
continue.

Class Descriptions:
3/24 3:30-5:00 pm Upstairs Navigating Middle-Earth with Ease
This class will focus on the many pathways available to us in the 
wonderful world between standing and lying down. We will concentrate on 
the head-tail connection and hone our kinesthetic listening-skills. 
(all levels)
	Neige Christenson has been an avid Contact Improviser since the 
mid-eighties (do the math!) as a regular jammer, teacher and performer. 
She also sees students individually for ?Contact coaching?.

3/24 1:30-3pm Downstairs: Learn dances of welcome, harvest, and 
initiation from Africa, the Caribbean and Brazil from a master 
instructor. Wyoma will guide you in a celebration of life. No prior 
dance experience required. Come move your body with passion and joy!
	Wyoma has worked in the U.S. and internationally (Kenya, Namibia, 
South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico) as a choreographer and teacher for 
over 30 years. wyoma is also a mind-body consultant who works with 
individuals and groups utilizing dance therapy, for aligning body and 
spirit through breath and movement.

3/23  7-8pm It is my pleasure to get this jam started with an hour 
intro to breakdancing.  I?ll cover the foundations of toprock, 
footwork, and popping.  Dancers of all abilities are welcome.  My goal 
is to leave each dancer with some hip-hop forms from which to 
improvise.
	Harrison Blum teaches creative dance and hip-hop classes in the Boston 
area.  He is excited about having recently started to host Dance Path, 
a monthly spiritually oriented dance jam in Jamaica Plain.  He plans to 
become an excellent surfer some day.

3/24 1:30-3pm upstairs *? Rolling on a Grassy Slope? *?  Contact 
Improvisation  with Martin Keogh :In this workshop we will start with 
the fundamentals of Contact Improvisation: the contact point, weight 
sharing, pathways into the floor and into the air, and finding the root 
of levity.
	Martin Keogh has taught and performed contact improvisation for over 
twenty-six years. For his contribution to the development of contact 
improvisation he is a Fulbright Senior Specialist and listed in Who's 
Who in the World. He has taught in 22 countries and co-facilitated 
Teacher?s Conferences on four continents.? Keogh is the author of, The 
Art of Waiting, and As Much Time as it Takes.? More info at: 
www.martinkeogh.com

ALexander technique Sunday 3/25 11am
If you have experienced back, neck or joint discomfort or even pain, 
you may be relieved to realize that your body is not necessarily 
defective, weak or worn out but simply complaining about the way it is 
handled! Learning to use your postural reflexes is key to this freeing 
the body from excess tension while moving. Come and discover!

/C?cile Raynor is a certified practitioner with a 3 year professional 
training in Paris, France. She has been practicing in //Brookline// for 
about 15 years to students ranging in age from 7 to 77. Many with 
medical or chronic conditions find her work extremely helpful in 
reducing or eliminating discomfort or pain. She has presented her work 
at a variety of local institutions from //Faulkner// //Hospital// to 
//Music// //Schools// and //Lesley// //University//. C?cile complements 
her practice by drawing on her experience with exercise, nutrition, 
meditation and homeopathy./ For more information go to 
alexandertec.com!

3/24 3:30 Conference room Learn easy, effective techniques that anyone 
can do to relieve pain in the head, neck, shoulders, back or feet, for 
yourself, co-workers, family, or the elderly.
	Rezakkah Norins is a licensed massage therapist with 18 years 
experience.? She teaches classes and has a private practice in 
Brighton.

Formal Consensus is the process we use for making group decisions in 
Dance New England, Dance Friday, and other member dances.  Come to this 
workshop to learn the basics, get a refresher, or discover how to use 
the process itself to unstick us from some of those stuck places we 
find ourselves in together.

	Candy Malina, LICSW, has been a participant and a facilitator of 
consensus process in DNE and Dance Friday for more than 15 years.  She 
loves the elegance of the process itself, and really believes that most 
of the problems we run into in group decision making can be solved by 
knowing and using the process well.

   Nia - Barbara Niles
  Nia is an expressive body-mind movement and lifestyle practice, 
embracing fitness and health.? It offers both traditional fitness 
benefits (cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility, strength, balance, 
endurance, and relaxation) and more esoteric benefits (concentration, 
playfulness, self-discovery, creativity, and healing).
