BEGINNER’S DAY
Friday is all about foundational techniques and jam etiquette, things that are good to know as a beginner (or improver, or advanced dancer). Practical exercises are mixed with discussion. Are you a total beginner, we warmly recommend that you participate this day both because of its own fantasticness, and because it will help you get the most out of Saturday and Sunday. Even if you already have experience, and want to remind yourself of the foundations, you’re very welcome.

This day ends with a long jam with live music by multi instrumentalist Andrea Ek Frisk, and a guest musician. It’s possible to participate in the jam only.

UNDERSCORE
The whole Sunday is set aside for the Underscore. The Underscore is a structured jam that takes 3-4 hours. The form is developed by Nancy Stark Smith, one of the first contact dancers in history, with starting point in the phases she observed in common jams. The Underscore has more than 20 phases, of which each has got a name and a symbol that work as a map for the dancers. Within the frame each dancer is free to have their own dance, alone and together. An important difference from a normal jam is that all dancers must stay the whole time. It’s not possible to drop in or out during the jam.
