A Journey into Connection, Movement, and Flow

This Contact Dance Workshop is a unique invitation to explore movement, trust, and embodied connection in a dynamic and intuitive way. Through guided exercises and freeform movement, participants will deepen their awareness of their own bodies while learning to attune to others in a shared dance of presence and flow.

Contact dance is more than movement—it’s a conversation without words, an exploration of giving and receiving, leading and surrendering, weight-sharing and momentum. This practice fosters deep listening, trust, and creative expression, making it a powerful tool for embodiment, connection, and self-discovery.

Whether you are new to contact dance or an experienced mover, this workshop is designed to welcome all levels and create a space of play, curiosity, and exploration.

Workshop Flow

1. Arrival & Grounding (10 minutes)
We begin with a short grounding practice—connecting with the breath, bringing awareness into the body, and arriving fully in the space. This moment allows participants to transition from the outside world into a state of presence and receptivity.

2. Guided Contact Improvisation (20 minutes) A structured warm-up will introduce the foundational elements of contact dance, focusing on:

• Body Awareness & Sensitivity – Feeling the floor, softening into movement, and awakening the senses.
• Giving & Receiving Weight – Exploring balance, counterbalance, and effortless movement with a partner.
• Trust & Surrender – Learning to move without resistance, listening with the body rather than the mind.
• Spontaneity & Playfulness – Encouraging improvisation and creative expression.

Through simple exercises and partnered explorations, participants will become comfortable moving with others, dissolving hesitations, and embracing the flow of intuitive movement.

3. Open Floor Contact Jam (50 minutes)
Following the guided portion, the floor opens up for free exploration—a space where participants can fully immerse themselves in the dance, moving solo or with partners in an organic and spontaneous way. Live or curated music will enhance the atmosphere, encouraging deep embodiment, emotional expression, and fluid connection. The open jam allows for play, experimentation, and authentic movement, creating a collective rhythm that flows beyond words.

4. Integration & Closing Circle (10 minutes)
We conclude with a short integration practice—breathing together, sharing reflections, and sealing the experience with gratitude. This closing space allows participants to absorb the journey, deepen their awareness of the experience, and take the essence of contact dance into their daily lives.
