This will be an extra-long, wonderful dance experience for you and a unique opportunity to connect with your fellow dancers! You'll also connect with them
during the afternoon workshop and meal. In the afternoon, Jeroen will lead a full Contact Beyond Contact workshop, lasting a full 2/2.5 hours! Afterwards,
we'll enjoy a potluck meal together (everyone makes/buys a small snack, which we share, creating a delicious, diverse buffet).
In the evening, we'll drink ceremonial cacao with Tanja Faber, and DJ Yarun Dee will then take you on a special dance journey.

About Contact Beyond Contact:
Contact Beyond Contact is a dance- and healing practice where you may discover the connection with yourself and others. It invites an opening of the heart and authentic, playful interactions through movement and dance. CBC was created in 2019 by Jeroen's teacher Vangelis Legakis.
A CBC-session is a 2- 2,5 hour journey in which a ‘new’ movement language is being taught. Acquiring new abilities in movement expression and developing clear intentions, clear leading & following, clarity of inner boundaries, sensing your ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ among many other qualities. A workshop to develop a more genuine connection with ourselves and others!
CBC incorporates elements from Authentic Movement (AM), Contact Improvisation (CI), Passing Through (PT), yoga, chi gong, and meditation. This workshop is for everyone who loves to dance and wants to deepen their dance experience with themselves and others. No prior dance experience is required. Suitable for beginners and more experienced dancers.
In this workshop, we will embark on a journey together, discovering ourselves in stillness, movement and connection. Learning new ways to express and dance together. Opening our heart and re-discovering our body. In between the different tools that are being offered there is time for reflection and sharing together, to invite a deeper understanding of the experiences, also in relationship to our daily lives. Everything that happens within dancing and creative expression has a relationship to our daily lives. Looking at it more closely with attention to what is actually happening will reveal a lot of information about ourselves and the deep-rooted mechanisms that condition us in one way or another. For most people a very insightful, transformative and joyful experience.
We dance barefoot, without words, without substances (no drugs, coffee, or alcohol), and with respect for each other.
No phones in the dance room, silence is permitted. Bring your own sealable bottle and your own cup/mug for tea.
