Jam Guidelines
To create a safe and fruitful dance space of mutuality
Arrive & Listen
-
Take time to settle physically and energetically into the space.
-
Listen deeply – to yourself, your partners, and the space.
Clothing & Safety
-
Wear long pants and shirts for skin coverage to avoid friction discomfort.
-
Remove jewellery or items that might catch on others.
-
Bring an extra shirt as tropical weather brings sweaty dances and it's nice to refresh.
-
Contact Improvisation involves physical risk. Stay within your skills and comfort, and take care of your safety.
-
Keep the floor for dancing; observe or rest from the sides.
Boundaries & Consent
-
Respect boundaries – it’s okay to say or hear “no” without explanation.
-
Practice reading non-verbal cues; ask for clarity if unsure.
-
Be mindful of how your energy and actions affect others in the space.
-
The focus of the practice is not sexual or romantic - please respect that in the space.
Support & Communication
-
If uncomfortable, talk to your partner, the facilitator, or an experienced dancer.
-
Observing is a valid way to learn and contribute to the jam’s energy.
