Learn to fly and or base in contact Improvisation. Advance lifts will be taught. However, several pre-stages to each lift will also be taught and there is no expectation that students need to arrive at doing the lift if they are not ready. Also, people can choose to practice either basing or fly or decide to do both roles. Application and integration into jamming will be explored with the hope that the material learned can show up in improvised dances.

VIDEOS: Class learning will be supported by tutorial video that will be available to the students.
