The first Monday of each month, the delightful Leslie Scates & Karen Stokes open up their dance classroom (Mojo Mondays) to the general public. The Participation Art class has made me proud with their daring jump-right-in-attitudes at these dance improv events which include all skill levels, ours being the, well, beginners.

According to Wikipedia, "dance improvisation is not about creating new movement but freeing the body from habitual movement patterns." Our class attends these events to gain practical insight into physical collaboration, the nature of human interaction, leading, following, listening, and to limber-up the mind and body.
