Classes and Workshops

San Francisco Contact Improvisation Series

Register for Class and/or Jam on the CounterPULSE Calendar

SF CI Series takes place EVERY TUESDAY year-round at CounterPULSE. SF CI Series Class is sequential, but drop-ins are encouraged. The best learning experience comes from trying out the styles of at least 3 of our monthly teachers. CI deepens your flexibility, kinesthetic awareness, and choices for contemporary partnering. Explore the discipline and play of this dance form with both class study and jam practice. SF CI Series Jam is a no-music (quiet) jam. We recommend taking class before attending your first jam.
