A hot springs and wilderness retreat with Scott Wells and Aaron Jessup
Join OutsideIn Adventures for a week of dancing, exploring nature, swimming, hiking and doing bodywork in the pristine northern sierras! Drawing inspiration from the everyday miracles of the natural world, Scott will work his magic during daily contact classes while Aaron will provide wilderness skills instruction. (No previous backpacking experience is necessary.)
The area north of Lake Tahoe is sometimes called "the lost sierras" because although they are every bit as beautiful as the southern and central mountains, they have far less human impact. Only 4 1/2 hours from San Francisco, the Gold Lakes Basin is bejeweled with mountain lakes and dramatic peaks. It's an amazing place to experience one's connection to self, other dancers and the natural world.
Delicious healthy meals will be provided by OutsideIn Adventures and are included in the tuition. Transportation and hot springs fees ($30/night) are not included.
Tuition: $545 by May 1st / $645 by July 1st

Partnering, acrobatics and contact improvisation.
Come lose your head and fly. We will work for clear, satisfying contact in which pleasure is the first teacher. We will practice flying, catching, landing, fluid acrobatics, deft maneuvers. For the acrobatics everyone will work at their own level and will learn best by building group safety and trust - everyone will do something new. We will learn some repertory and practice taking the aerial work into improv. Jumping ≠ Flying because jumping is a muscular action, whereas flying is in the bones and is affected greatly by emotions and attitude.
2nd week is performance focus.
