We are excited to introduce a new offering β Family Dance Jams at Earthdance!
π©βπ§βπ§ For parents with an established embodiment practice, and their younger kiddos.
π©βπ§βπ§ To remember ourselves as movers and to share in our childrenβs somatic explorations,
π©βπ§βπ§ And for other adult dancers, especially friends of those children.
π©βπ§βπ§ To support the family movement space with your movement & your relationships.
The Invitation:
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ For parents to be in their dancing bodies.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ For children to share our dance space as equally valid, welcome participants.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ To view our kidβs embodiment as a movement practice.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ To find inspiration from each other.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ To improvise with children as dancers.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ To cultivate curiosity -to research (ie learn thru play) together.
What to Expect:
π©βπ§ A multi-generational, multi abled, inclusive space where everyoneβs first language- movement- is the primary mode of communication.
π©βπ§ Open container -Arrive when you can. Depart when you need.
π©βπ§ You donβt have to dance Contact Improvisation.
π©βπ§ There will be loosely held opening and closing βcirclesβ.
π©βπ§ There will be some anytime/all-the-time scores offered as well as a lightly offered activity about an hour in.
π©βπ§ If desired, we could have a second space for more rambunctious movement play.
