What to Bring/Wear

  • We sell knee-pads for CI practice ($35) at the studio. Ask your teacher or email us at: info@edamdance.org.

  • Bring a bottle of water.

  • EDAM is a scent-reduced space, please help us keep our studio odour-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a difference between a class and a workshop? A class is a short focused session. A workshop is a longer session (with small breaks at the teacher’s discretion). Both are facilitated around the teacher’s interests and knowledge.

  • What is a Contact Jam? Jams are leaderless practice environments in which dancers practice CI with whoever gathers — friends, strangers, experienced dancers, newcomers. In our Open Jams, an EDAM teacher will hold the space, however, there is no instruction.

  • I have never done Contact Improvisation. Can I join any class or workshop? If you have never done Contact Improvisation, please sign up to a Thursday evening class our our Fundamentals Workshop, to acquire some skills and tools. Depending on your experience and previous training, you may request to join our advanced Morning Classes. Our teachers can support you in this journey.
