East Coast Contact Improv Jam

The East Coast Jam

The East Coast jam is a multi-day gathering to explore Contact Improvisation. It's been happening twice yearly since 1987 at Claymont Court Seminars and Retreat Center in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains outside of Charles Town, West Virginia, around one and a half hour's car ride from the center of Washington, DC, USA.

Welcoming all experience levels, the jam includes facilitated warm-ups, open dancing, an evening of performance, two dance spaces, shared lodging, luscious vegetarian meals, sauna, wide vistas, lots of beautiful spaces to explore. We have between 30 to 50 participants at each jam.
