This Sunday, come dance it out on the Dovercourt House floor.
Picture this: a big, bright room, lovely airflow, beautiful floors that let you glide, and soft music filling the space.
There’s no choreo, no exact moves to follow. There’s no waiting until the end of the song to change partners, and no one too advanced to want to dance with you.
Here you get to tune in, build trust, learn your likes, test your strength, catch an inspiring moment in a song, and feel the sun on your face.
Let’s leave all the hustle + bustle outside and sync up with what really makes the heart sing.
3-5 pm • 805 Dovercourt Rd, top floor
Colours In Contact
Colours In Contact offers a platform to explore open dynamic expression and connection through dance. Our minds? Our hearts?
At Colours in Contact, you are invited to explore your experience of body and movement through Contact Improvisation while remaining conscious of others, in all our differences, with love and curiosity. These differences may include but are not be limited to race, gender, culture, dance experience, athletic ability, neural differences and body type. Which Is to say, with great enthusiasm, we will
Calling the new crew! 🤩
Exploring open and creative movement with others can be so freeing, exhilarating, and empowering, but jumping straight into jams or socials can feel like a lot when you’re just starting out.
No worries, we’ve got you! ✨
Come join a new crew of contact improv movers who, like you, are ready for something new, excited to learn, and eager to make new friends.
For 5 weeks, we’ll break down how to enter this space of creativity and play, start moving with partners, navigate consent, boundaries, and touch, and explore movement across the floor, in the air, and on the ground.
You’ll have space to ask questions, try things out, build confidence, and discover what feels good for you, all alongside a group of people who are learning together.
Plus, you get free jams throughout the series so you can put what you’re learning into practice, build confidence, and meet more of the community! 🙌
By the end, you’ll have a foundation to take with you into jams and your own movement explorations.

Looks like another rainy Sunday is headed our way 🌧️
So instead of hiding out at home, come get cozy with us at the Dovercourt House 🤸♀️ Rainy Sundays in that big beautiful space are honestly kind of a vibe, with a little movement, a little play, a little community, and a nice excuse to reset.
We’ll be there from 3-5 pm, then we’ll wander somewhere nearby for some food, chats, and a slow little wind-down together 🍲✨
Come move with us. Rain and all 💜
➡️ Your people aren’t afraid to question the usual way of doing things ⬅️
We challenge patterns and structure, and can help you reconnect with your own voice along the way. You’ll mess up, you’ll get scared, you’ll face old ways, but every day that we move and get together, we get to connect more deeply to our joy, broaden possibilities, lean on community and approach life in new ways.
💫 Here’s a little glimpse into our creative process while preparing for a class xo
All you have to do is head to the park, we’ll provide the friends that you can hang upside down with 🙃
This Wednesday, we’re going to play with something new 🌊
We’re diving into new aspects of momentum - exploring how we can keep a dance moving, build speed, and create big, sweeping pathways across the floor.
Think: expansive movement, playful momentum, counterbalance, and finding ways to keep the dance flowing while one person becomes a source of stability. We’ll explore circular patterns that create these beautiful sweeping sensations, as well as more linear movement where we play with speed, continuation and momentum.
And the fun part? There are SO many ways to combine these elements and create your own movement pathways within the framework 🤸♀️
Whether you’re newer to contact improv or you’ve been dancing with us for a while, there will be lots to explore! New movers can find accessible ways into the material, while experienced movers can take these ideas into new territories.
We’re anticipating lots of movement across the studio within the class and during the jam afterwards 😄
Come play, experiment, move big, and see where the momentum takes you 🌀
