Please strive to arrive on time for the class:
This fosters community and helps to create a strong container.
The strong container is so the entire group works together and understands the safety and consent guidelines of how we interact in our dancing.
We have a commitment:
Our community has an exciting opportunity to co-create a dancing environment with a strong regard for diversity, safety and consent, while advancing our CI practice.
Consideration of boundaries and consent are paramount at CIB (as they must be in the world). Dance partnerships in contact or close relationship must be agreed upon by the participants.
Regarding Covid-19: Contact Improv Boston respects personal preference regarding masking and vaccinations. Testing and vaccines are not required.
