In this fun and supportive class, you will learn the basic concepts and skills for this dance form which explores movement through shared weight, touch, and physical awareness.

Topics will include boundaries and consent, moving from your own center, tuning in to a partner’s center and using many surfaces of your body to take weight. We’ll play with rolling, sliding, suspending, falling and more.

Dance experience is welcome, but not required!

This experience is led by Nina Galin, a lifelong lover of movement. Nina has been learning about Contact Improv for some decades, and teaching it for the last several years. Her movement research includes contemporary dance, somatics and meditation. She has an MFA in dance and a PhD in Performance Studies.

Organized by

Revolution Yoga Santa Rosa

Our mission is to foster a safe learning environment for the study of yoga and meditation while building community, engaging in service to the greater community and spreading the revolutionary ideals of peace, compassion and unity through the world.

We believe it is a revolutionary act to be of service, to spread love and compassion, to honor deep traditions and cultivate meaningful relationships. Not only is the practice of yoga, which means union in Sanskrit, revolutionary because it requires attention to the present moment, the transformation within the practitioner is revolutionary.

Our world is filled with dichotomies. We have dark and light entangled with each other in all facets of our society. We strive to bring into balance that dark and light, to see clearly what lies before us, to connect with our truest selves and communicate through the lens of compassion and ahimsa, nonviolence.
