Welcome to an extraordinary journey into Contact Improvisation, a revolutionary dance form that transforms how we move, connect, and communicate through our bodies. Under the guidance of Heather, you’ll explore this unique practice that combines the spontaneity of improvisation with the discovery of shared physical dialogue.

Contact Improvisation is far more than a dance technique—it’s a philosophy of movement that celebrates the natural intelligence of the body and the beautiful complexity of human connection. In our classes, you’ll discover how to create a seamless conversation through touch, weight-sharing, and mutual responsiveness, all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and consent.

**What to Expect in Class**
Each Contact Improvisation class with Heather is carefully structured to build skills progressively while honoring the improvisational nature of the form. Classes typically begin with individual warm-up exercises that help you connect with your own body, find your center, and prepare for the shared exploration ahead.

**Solo Preparation:** We start by developing what Contact Improvisation practitioners call “the small dance”—the subtle, constant adjustments your body makes to maintain balance and respond to gravity. This foundational awareness becomes the basis for all partner work and helps you develop the sensitivity needed for responsive dancing.

**Partner Exercises:** Gradually, we introduce simple partner exercises that teach the fundamental skills of weight-sharing, following points of contact, and maintaining connection while moving. These exercises are designed to build trust and communication skills while developing the physical techniques that make more complex improvisation possible.

**BOOKING INFORMATION:**

* **What to wear:** Proper attire is crucial for both safety and full participation in Contact Improvisation. Since this practice involves extensive floor work, rolling, sliding, and physical contact, appropriate clothing like comfortable t-shirts to cover and protect your body and full length pants are recommended.

* **Hair and Jewelry:** Long hair should be secured away from the face and neck to prevent it from interfering with movement or getting caught during partner work. Remove all jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, and watches, as these can cause injury to yourself or your dance partners during close contact.
