with Taina Lyons: Join Taina in an exploration of the many varied qualities of Contact Improvisation – slow and grounding, fast and flowing, energetic and emotional. Using the elements of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Ether as our guides, we will cultivate these qualities in ourselves and our dances. Through movement exercises, we will practice basic skills for dancing Contact Improvisation and deepen our sense of connection to self, other, and the environment.

Each session in this series is offered as a stand-alone class, beginning with Earth as the principal theme. In this class we'll focus on how to safely share weight, and we'll explore the benefits of grounded co-regulation. We'll practice principles of CI that are also tools for connection and for restoring ease to your nervous system in these cold winter months.

All classes in this series will include skills for boundaries and consent, which are at the core of CI practice. This class is appropriate for beginners and all bodies and abilities.
