The Annual Burlington VT International Contact Jam
August 17-19, 2018 This event happens with a lot of love and support from everyone involved, including participants. Thank you all for making the Burlington Jam so special. This year's organizing team: Abbi, Amanda, Michelle, Joanie, and Hazel Your dedicated organizers create a dynamic experience for the local and wider contact improv community every year. Each Jam includes a fundamentals class for all levels by a teacher that is familiar with AXIS Syllabus, music jam, guided warm up, urban dance walk / embodiment activism, evening festivities, DJ dance party, and an Underscore. We work to incorporate social justice into our theme each year and to diversify the organizational and guest artist team. Please reach out to us with your ideas. Coming soon, a diversity scholarship for participants. |

Housing Options:
Contact Hazel with questions. hazelturrone@hotmail.com
We changed the date of our jam to the Summer so that we can offer camping. We are a small and yet vital community, and sadly we don't have the ability to find housing for dancers. Please find your own housing. There are options below. Camping will run out, so reserve your site with the campground soon.
North Beach Campground: A really beautiful location, right on the bike path (bring your bike) and next to the LAKE!, just 2 miles from the jam. They accept reservations and will fill up, so... Go online to http://enjoyburlington.com/ or Call the campground directly at 1-800-571-1198. Tent sites with one tent = $72 for the two nights for up to 4 people. If you want more then one tent, then that is $5/night more. So at the most, split between 4 people and having an extra tent, brings you to $20.50 for lodging for the whole weekend. Only one car per site, extra car parking is available.
