Welcome!

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a movement practice 
involving an open-ended exploration 
of listening and connection 
with one’s self, others, and the surroundings, 
through spontaneous, moving points of contact. 

We love contact improvisation
and we look forward to dancing with you soon!

Current Northern VT CI Organizers:

Abbi Jaffe, Amanda Franz, Michelle Lefkowitz, Hazel Turrone, Jon Williamson, and Shastina Rose Ann-Wallace in the footsteps of the many others before us since 1981.
