​Intro to Stilts & Jam Workshop with Emily McDougall
​CLASS CAPACITY IS ALMOST FULL!

Intro Stilts - 2 spots left!

Participants will learn the basics of walking on peg stilts. Participants will also learn to be a supportive spotter to someone learning to walk on stilts. We will explore stability through contact with each other and our surroundings. The first part of the workshop will focus on familiarizing participants with simply walking on stilts and as folks become more comfortable on their pegs, we will explore purposeful movement and straightforward dance steps. Please bring knee pads, thick soled shoes (like hiking or work boots), water and wear comfortable attire. 

​For those who choose to stay for the “jam” portion of the workshop, we will work with some elements of contact dance and further hone our newfound skills with challenges such as pirouettes and some trickier footwork. This portion of the workshop will require participants to be able to walk on peg stilts without a spotter. ​
