Thursday nights dancing will run through May, 7:30-8:30 at Gretchen's House on DHU VARREN, north side of Ann Arbor.
May 7th (tonight)
May 14th (no dance, space unavailable)
May 21st (dance yes)
May 28th (special music jam? or something else fun)
$0-10 requested donation. It's $30 to rent per night, and we've been covering that just fine most nights so please do not let cost deter you in any way.
This weekly 1-hr focused jam was conceived as an adjunct to regular Sunday jams for those of us who would like to commit to dancing more frequently (Ann Arbor jams used to be weekly before the pandemic!). No instruction is provided so familiarity with basic skills such as weight sharing and pouring, rolling point of contact, and an ability to find and share center of gravity with other dancers is necessary to dance safely. Attendees will also find it helpful to be familiar with the culture of contact improvisation via semi-regular attendance at jams or regional events/classes here or elsewhere, currently or in the past; if any of these are new to you, please consider attending Cara's Sunday classes and jams in Ann Arbor or Detroit on alternating Sundays.
We may continue Thursday nights more informally OUTDOORS, or possibly Sundays where there is not an official jam. Will post those as they occur.
