~Are you new to Contact, and wanting a safe and supportive group of people with whom to build on skills, such as sharing weight, following points of contact, and riding waves of momentum through space??

~Are you wanting to access a greater range of energetic states and movement qualities in your dancing?

~ Do you love contact but feel intimidated by going to a jam?
