Seville’s CI scene is known for its 'open-door' philosophy, bridging the gap between professional training and community practice, making it a reference point for Contact Improvisation in Southern Spain. Main Activities: Weekly Jams: Open spaces for free improvisation where the community practices non-verbal dialogue and physical listening. CIFA (Andalusian CI Training): Specialized technical modules focused on deep research, safety, and the genealogy of the form. Regular Classes: Guided sessions for all levels, focusing on floor work, falling safely, and the "Small Dance." Intensive Workshops: Occasional residencies with international and local guest teachers to broaden our movement vocabulary. Outdoor Sessions: Taking advantage of Seville’s climate to bring the practice to parks and public spaces, connecting the dance with the urban and natural environment.

Questions can be ongoing and reoccurring, like the dance of life. For each session we ask that the fee for hiring the space is split each between all people that turn up to dance, we are estimating it to be 30 AED based on 10 people, but also if that is not suitable for certain people we can discuss. We would love to host international teachers to help build the scene here, strengthen our practices and enable the global CI network to expand. If you are a teacher reading this and see there might be away for you to visit us, please do get in touch.
