Sunday Jam Current Status
As of March 12, 2020 the Sunday jam is suspended, in response to this DC government Health Advisory and the general imperative for social distancing in response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
Once the social distancing requirements end we will resume in the larger studio (Studio A) at Dance Institute of Washington. Check back here and on the DC-CI mailing list for updates.
We update this section with anticipated schedule, venue, or other changes that affect the jam. (Such changes are rare - the jam tends to happen every Sunday of the year.)
Every Sunday we have a Contact Improvisation jam or Underscore at Dance Institute of Washington, a four minute walk from the Columbia Heights Metro station.
- On the first Sunday of each month we share an Underscore at our regular time, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. (Please be on time - that helps the Underscore work well.)
- On the other Sundays we have a regular jam, also from 2 to 5 pm. (Timing is more open on those days.)
- On the third Sunday of each month, during the first hour, we offer an intro-class concomitant to the ongoing regular jam (at no additional cost for attendance).
- On all Sundays we have a closing circle starting around 4:30.
See the Sunday Jam page for details and guidance.
