| | Contact improvisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Contact Improvisation is a form of dance improvisation. | | | Contact Improvisation was developed by a group of dance artists led by Steve Paxton as an exploration in improvised dance. | | | These dance jams are similar to the practice of jazz musicians bringing themselves together and using the time to explore the limits of the form. |

| | Dance improvisation is addressed in several articles that discuss the healing nature of creative dance forms and one article that discusses the curative qualities of dance improvisation. | | | One of these articles discussed a dance piece, Trio A, choreographed by Trisha Brown who had been a member of the Judson Dance Theater, but this piece does not use contact improvisation and so is not relevant to contact improvisation. | | | Judson Dance Theater and Steve Paxton were included because they were fundamental to the creation of contact improvisation and would be useful in locating contact improvisation in sources that did not use dance cataloging terminology and also to identify sources that are cataloged under Library of Congress topics of psychology and medicine. |

| | The only times that I remember dancing were at a church social and at my junior and senior proms. | | | The steps are inherent in the music, I discovered - as people who saw me dance were now thinking (they told me so) that I had studied dance all of my life and was, of course, in a dance company. | | | Thus, did I come to dance professionally - my dance style is improvisation/ interpretive. |
