Contact improvisation is a form of improvised dancing involving the exploration of one's body in relationship to others by using the fundamentals of sharing weight and touch. Deep listening, consent, self awareness, and play are integral parts of this dance form that will be highlighted at each jam. Every jam will include a mini class, open space to practice the form, and introductory lessons for those interested.

This class comes out of many years of movement study, curiosity and play. It weaves together my somatic leanings, movement improvisational scores, contact improv, authentic movement, contemplative dance, dance boot camp and fiercely dancing-my-ass-off-in-the-club.Original music compositions, pop-culture songs, and abstract sound weaves through each class. it is a mash up encouraging entanglement. It moves you and the class is moved by you.

Must pre-register. Let's figure out how to do this together.

Alignment is a Felt Sense with Emily Jones

Sunday March 8th + April 12th + May 10th
9:30-11:30am
Drop-in sliding scale $15-$30

Please email to pre-register: ejones248@gmail.com

In this class we will practice alignment as a dynamic process of sensing into ourselves, being present to our environment, and cultivating capacity to shift, as needed, to attend to our own physicality, energy and emotional states. Alignment describes relationships, it is self determined, from within, rather than imposed externally. In each class I will offer theory, choreography and improvisation scores to try on. This class is inspired by the Axis Syllabus, and will include concepts from anatomy, biomechanics and physics. Movement motifs will include rolling, crawling, spiraling and traversing through space. This class is open to all levels. Reach out with any questions.

Earth /Sky with Tahni Holt

Tuesday February 24th // 6:30pm-8:00pm

$15-$30 // REGISTER HERE

Earth/Sky focuses on sensitivity practices through somatic inquiry, improvisational movement scores and Contemporary Alexander technique principles. Earth/Sky goes deep into inquires of grounding and gravitational support in one’s being. In Earth/Sky we swim into practices of embodiment where we sensitize into places we may be holding ourselves up, back, and/or in, and ask can we find movement through the cracks, can we rest into presence? Can we listen in on the dark recesses of our unconscious patterns? Can we integrate these practices in our everyday lives? Expect waves of rigorous movement exploration alongside slowed down sensorial capacity building practices. Prompts offer a starting point for exploration to facilitate new ways of moving and being. All are welcome, no prior movement experience needed.
Masks are optional.

$15-$30 (no one turned away from lack of funds)
 pre-registration required

Hosted by creative practitioners Judy Nahum, Cat Petru and Analysa Cantu-Martin.

Judy Nahum (she/her) is a Portland-based poet and dog mom who draws inspiration from ancestors, geography & language, and tiny precious moments. Her poetry chapbook “i have wrestled with the way clouds weep” was published in 2024 by Querencia Press. Judy invites a sense of wonder as we explore the ways beauty shows up, sometimes gently, sometimes unpredictably, amidst chaos and grief. You can follow her on Instagram @kismet_jude.

Cat Petru (she/her) In overwhelming times, Cat invites grounding, curiosity, playfulness, sweat & slowness in her dance classes. Infused with intention, her playlists are curated to move, inspire and nurture participants in body, mind and spirit. She encourages participants to let their bodies lead them; no formal dance experience needed! Her teaching is inspired by her mystical ancestors, practicing freedom, joy, and magic with our bodies. Cat’s love of movement and beauty extends to her work as an audio producer and storyteller. Learn more at catherinepetru.com

Analysa Cantu-Martin (she/her) is the founder of Joy Club, a celebration company where she serves as a celebrant and creative facilitator. She believes in the magic and power of being witnessed, celebrated, and fully expressed. Her work weaves together intuition, emotional presence, and years of experience supporting people through meaningful moments. Analysa created Careoke as an intentional singing experience for busy humans who crave fun, release, and authentic connection. She trusts that when we let our voices move through us, we remember we belong.

What to expect:

• Arrive at FLOCK Dance Studio and follow signs for In Beauty Workshop.

• Bring your favorite water bottle, notebook, writing utensils and wear dance-friendly clothing (shoes are optional).

• Masks are optional. The space has air purifiers. Please lovingly stay home if you are experiencing any symptoms of illness. Thank you!

• Building is wheelchair accessible.

• No ASL at this time.

• Come with an open-mind and heart, as you are.

• You are encouraged to participate in each modality (writing, dance and karaoke) although you can engage at your own comfort level. No element is mandatory.

• This is not group therapy, but rather a space to reflect, express and share in guided community.

• Please note: Careoke is a different kind of karaoke. It is not about performance or perfection, but about expression. It invites you to notice what it feels like to let your voice move through you. Before singing, participants are welcome to share what their chosen song means to them, so the room can witness the heart (the story and depth) behind the sound.
