The Contemporary Improv Training Library

$29 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

Do your dancers…

freeze when improvising?
repeat the same movement over and over?
avoid risk?
rush through transitions?
stop committing once movement gets uncomfortable?
default to tricks instead of investigation?
struggle with adaptability, momentum, or spatial clarity?

Most dancers are not lacking creativity.

They’re lacking structure.

This library gives you practical improvisation exercises that train dancers physically — not just creatively.
