Oxford Contact Dance

Oxford Contact Dance started in 2014 and we organise dancing, classes, and workshops in Oxford, UK for contact dance including contact improvisation. Often these classes are drop-in sessions and no booking is required. We also organise performances and research movement through workshops ('lab-ing' as its known). We welcome beginners and newcomers with no experience of dance or from other dance traditions. See our events on the home page. Contact improvisation is a dance which originated in the 1970’s and which has now spread throughout the world. It’s often taught in university dance courses but it’s easy to learn and fun. It’s an improvised dance – a dialogue in movement – which has a fluid and dynamic form.
