Oxford Contact Dance

This is a drop-in class with a dance practice suitable for beginners and experienced dancers. We'll  explore movement and dancing together.

South Oxford Community Centre

Class theme - Head First!We'll have an hours class and an hours dance practice (a 'jam'). We'll be exploring movement using contact in the head, neck and shoulders. By setting up movement in the spine from the head, we can allow it to flow through our bodies, into our dance partners and the space around us. Please wear loose clothing and bring a water bottle. Do not attend if you have any symptoms of Covid-19. Thank-you.

If you are the front of the building, facing the the front door on the street then walk to your left and around the building. Continue up the driveway at the side of the building.
