Hello CI Community

After over 10 years of dancing in this amazing form, I am teaching a combination of contact improvisation and body-mind centering® in Portland, Oregon. I am excited to bring this combination of things to my community, and also hope to bridge my teaching out in the US as well as abroad. I facilitate an experience through play and experimentation, where we dive into the unknown and the re-membering of our wise bodies to inhabit the spaces in between ourselves, others, and the earth.

An evening of contact improv, play, relaxation and community. We come together to explore the worlds of touch, deep listening, intuitive expression and conscious connection. The studio is ours for the entire evening. We dance as long as we like and go home in sweet exhaustion.
