SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Dear Dancers,
We are delighted to offer you...

Video footage from the December 2017 Axis Syllabus workshops is now available. Over 30 hours of footage has been edited down to less than 2 hours of pure, instructional Axis Syllabus pathways from our two instructors, Daniel Bear and Nuria Bowart.

These videos are for workshop attendees only. To download the footage, please write an email to brinewater@gmail.com stating which workshops you attended. In your email, state truthfully that you attended all or part of the workshops. Please state in your own words a commitment to use the material for personal, educational purposes only. Give your word that you will not share this footage with anyone. Maintaining privacy of students and teachers in the films is very important.

The cost is a sliding scale:
$10-$30 for for one and $20-$60 for the pair. Please send payment via PayPal to brinewater@gmail.com along with a note specifying which workshop footage you would like to download, and the best email address to reach you. All funds will go to AVL Jam and to the video producer.

Thank you so much for your presence last December and we encourage you to continue your study of movement, dance and biodynamics.

Sincerely,
The Asheville Jam Organizers

Asheville Jam core organizers have been engaged in challenging discussions about boundaries and how to create a safer environment on the dance floor, especially for women and newcomers to the form. Please read this article by Kathleen Rea. We encourage your engagement as we continue to articulate these issues into our own finalized AVL JAM guideline statement and feel free to email us at admin@ashevillejam.com
