1711 Stuart St. This member can host out-of-town jammers. I've been practicing contact improv intermittently for almost ten years, and a couple years ago helped to organize the first Contact Camp at Burning Man. I also have studied performative modern dance technique, a few forms of Hatha Yoga, and assorted martial arts. I have taught Contact Improv classes for free; but I would not consider myself a qualified teacher. Chelsea Taylor(805) 705-6469

Leralee WhittleSend Leralee Whittle a message 505.660.9341 Nomadic, CA, http://www.laleelee.com I am a Contact Improv Teacher. My teaching stresses the idea of developing a "relational body" that generates creative impulse as a response to being in relationship to others, the ground, inanimate objects, space and time. Luna BaronOakland, CA, 94608, http://lunabaron.com I am a Contact Jam/Event Organizer. Maxima Kahn530.273.3566 Grass Valley, CA, 95945, I am a Contact Improv Teacher. I lead a weekly class and jam in Grass Valley, CA in the Sierra Foothills, which I've been leading since Fall of 2005. We have a wonderful, warm-hearted group of about 20-30 folks in the community, with about 12 showing up on any given night, mixed levels. I also bring out-of-town teachers in to lead weekend workshops, and I'm available to travel and teach workshops. I've been studying CI since something like 1989, always learning and growing and loving it, and bringing in elements from other movement studies. In my teaching I focus on CI as an art/dance form, an awareness practice, a tool for self-revelation and self-change, and a source of endless fun and discovery. I tend to go more into the psychological and healing aspects of CI than other teachers I know. I would love to teach at festivals or do a workshop in your community.

660 54th St. #4 http://nitalittle.com I am a Contact Improv Teacher. I participated in the emergence and development of CI and have joyfully been dancing CI since before Steve Paxton gave it a name. I was the first ongoing CI teacher in the bay area - following our first west coast tour in the 1972 (with Steve, Nancy and Curt Siddall). I have just returned to the Bay and will be teaching workshops and classes here. I currently teach an on-going CI class at ODC in San Francisco (Sat 12:15 - 2:00) and I travel internationally on a regular basis. I am in the process of getting a PhD in performance studies from UC Davis. My dissertation on embodied states of attention in dance will become a book.
