DANCE JAMS w/ AVAdance Co-LABorative !
Fridays, October 20 and December 1, 7:30 - 9:30pm

Community Event. Pay as you can !
Location: Joy of Motion Dance Center.
5207 Wisconsin Ave NW 
Friendship Heights

Come to a different kind of happy hour on Friday night. This is a great opportunity for you to engage your improvisational skills, dance away the stresses of the week, and groove to liv...e music at this free community event.
At this event, participants will be able to express their authentic selves and their expressions of joy through movement with live accompaniment from a variety of genres.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is not a technique class. Facilitators from AVAdance will invite participants to move in an improvisational and expressive fashion while offering movement suggestions. These guided improvisations will invite those in attendance to connect with the space, each other, and themselves. This will be followed by an hour long dance flow, exploring a variety of styles, moods, and tempos. Participants are invited to move at their own pace or follow the suggestions that the facilitators offer. The evening will conclude with a group collaborative movement experience.

LEVEL: All levels welcome.
ATTIRE: Casual attire that allows for free and unrestricted movement.

ABOUT THE STYLE:
This Expressive AVAdance Jam aims to give movers, groovers, and dancers of all skill levels the space to play, invent, and explore through expressive dance & improvisation.
ABOUT THE EVENT: Your artistic and monetary contributions to AVAdance Jams provide support for a new AVAdance Co-LABorative production happening at Joy of Motion in June of 2018. Donations to the production will be accepted at the door.
