Contradiction Dance is a place where theatre, dance, and pop culture meet. The company’s vision is to make dances that report on, reflect, and question the world in which we live. Nurtured on the belief that artists and audience members communicate in a dialogue through the chosen medium, Contradiction Dance fosters discussion, reflection, and change through live performance and dance education.

Materials: Your own hoop, Hoops are for sale at class!

Hoop dance is a fun and transformative way to move your body and get in touch with your inner child. Intended for hoopers of all abilities, each session will combine instruction, drills, and exercises designed to improve your hoop technique and help you to discover your own unique hoop dance. These days, hoopers come in all ages, shapes, sizes and genders (I seriously can’t think of anything hotter than a boy hooper!) The class will also help students develop performance skills and may focus on specific techniques needed to fire hoop depending on interest.

Surprise! has been hooping for five years. She developed her skills in San Francisco before moving out to Washington DC in 2007. She is an experienced fire performer who has performed at festivals, clubs, and private events across the country.

WORKIN'

OUCH!!! The back-in-season muscles are barking today. BUT, I'm loving it!!! Can't deny it. I made a dance today... the first part of one anyway. A.K. said I should make a dance a week. I wish the muse was so generous. Sometimes she is - last project came very quickly - BUT, sometimes she's not so kind.

Here's the video from rehearsal... just a sketch: SideWalk

Funny side note: a resident walked by as we were rehearsing and thought we were really having a girl-fight.

Classes are happening, students are trickling in.... we need more, always more. I'm encouraged by the community, though. Takoma Park rocks. If you don't know, you need to check it out. It's a very cool place to be. :)

The drummers

A Different Drum is hosting drumming circles in Takoma Park... Thursdays from 6-8... enjoy!
