About our spaces and organization
Dance Jam rents movement studios in the historic Sawtooth Building.
The "Hot Room" features up-tempo music.
The deejays play a mix of music ranging from the cutting edge to the
familiar. You will hear an eclectic blend that is sure to please most
everyone. The first 45 minutes is a luscious warm-up, so come early
and unwind your body.
The "Warm Room" is a chill space. Music
alternates weekly between live and recorded music. The live music is
mostly down-tempo and allows for deep, meditative movement with and
without partners. The recorded music is primarily down-tempo. You are
likely to hear Ambient Groove, Jazz, Acid Jazz, Blues, Latin, and Classical
sprinkled in. A lot of people like to do Contact Improvisation in this
room. The live and recorded music is very supportive of an inward journey.
Dance Jam is a 501(c)4 corporation dedicated to promoting self-expression
and community through dance. Our organization runs on volunteer energy
and collective governance. Your participation and feedback is always
welcome. |
