Hello Fellow North Bay Dwellers,

I am quite new to the area and looking for some contact improv jams in the Sebastopol, Occidental or surrounding areas. I tried to go to one at the Sebastopol Center for Arts last Wednesday but ended up not finding the dance jam. Please if any dancers out there know of any jams I would love to join the dance community.


I praise the dance,for it frees people from the heaviness of matter and binds the isolated to community.I praise the dance, which demands everything: health and a clear spirit and a buoyant soul. Dance is a transformation of space, of time, of people, who are in constant danger of becoming all brain, will, or feeling. Dancing demands a whole person, one who is firmly anchored in the center of his life, who is not obsessed by lust for people and things and the demon of isolation in his own ego. Dancing demands a freed person, one who vibrates with the equipoise of all his powers. I praise the dance. O man, learn to dance, or else the angels in heaven will not knowwhat to do with you.
- Saint Augustine


I heard this at a dance jam closing ceremony once and loved it so much I just had to share. Dance on!
Much Love, Michelle :heart::):
