Blindfolded Contact Dance is a slow and gentle experience—for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. The constraint of the blindfold invites dancers to explore other senses to find connection, expression, pleasure, and safety. These workshops take participants on a journey of somatic self-discovery and non-verbal consent via solo and group exercises—both with and without blindfolds.
Overview
- Category: Dance and Dramatherapy
- Purpose of the experience: Surrendering To Our Inner Sight
- Will there be a physical touch between the recipient and the creator? : No

- Location of the experience: Venue
- Who should avoid it? Under 18? Pregnant? Allergies and phobias? : All participants agree to this code before the start of every class. Refrain from unnecessary talking before or during workshop. The jam is a non-verbal space unless needed for safety. It’s OK to take your own blindfold off anytime. Take care of yourself and others. This includes no lifts. If blindfolded, avoid taking large steps. Keep feet low to ground if walking. Crawling or rolling across the floor is another great alternative. Always strive for attunement with your partner(s)—which usually means slowing down. If you are offering a kind of touch that is not being reciprocated, slow down and practice attuning to your partner. If you touch a private area inadvertently, don’t linger. If you need someone to move off you, tap twice, fast and firm where you need them to move. If you don’t know, ask. Part of our conscious dance practice is to pay attention to and respect verbal and nonverbal cues of consent. This is a non-sexual space – including no “second base” activity. This dance floor is free from photography and video. No intoxicants, scents, or jewelry/watches. Do not smoke before the event. Turn off mobile devices.
