✨ THIS WEDNESDAY, COME MOVE WITH US! ✨
This Wednesday, Donny Phan is coming to Colours in Contact to teach a special class exploring Zouk Soft Skills - drawing from Zouk to explore connection, fluidity, responsiveness and playful partner movement.
You don’t need to know Zouk or have any dance experience to join. Whether you’re a dancer, mover, or simply curious to try something new, this is a chance to explore movement and connection with another person in a fun, welcoming environment.
At Colours in Contact, we’re interested in exploring what happens when we move, play and connect with other people. Donny brings that same spirit of curiosity and improvisation to his practice, making this a great introduction to some of the tools we love to explore in our movement community.
After the class, stay for our movement jam - an open space to experiment, improvise and move with others. No choreography, no set steps, and no experience required ✨

Colours In Contact offers a platform to explore open dynamic expression and connection through dance. Our minds? Our hearts?
At Colours in Contact, you are invited to explore your experience of body and movement through Contact Improvisation while remaining conscious of others, in all our differences, with love and curiosity.

Rain is in the forecast for this Sunday, so we’ll be moving indoors to the beautiful Dovercourt House instead of the park 🌦️
Join us for a relaxed afternoon of contact improv and movement explorations 🙌
We always love to tinker, play, and see what we can discover - trying things out, seeing what our bodies can do, learning from each other, and getting inspired by the people we move with.
No pressure to perform or get anything “right.” Just a few hours to move, connect, explore, and let yourself be curious 😇
And afterwards, join us for some food and good company 🍜

✨ Hi! We’re Emma & Pablo, the humans behind Colours in Contact 💜 If you’re new here, welcome!
Colours in Contact is a community centred around partnered movement exploration. There are no steps to memorize or choreography to follow. Instead, we explore movement through improvisation, curiosity, communication, and play.
Our community is made up of people from all walks of life and all experience levels. Some come from dance, while others come from martial arts, yoga, gymnastics, flow arts, theatre, climbing, and many have no movement background at all. We love bringing these different experiences together and exploring what unfolds when we move, listen, and create with one another.
We cultivate an environment where people can:
✨ Explore movement without needing to perform
✨ Build trust, communication, and body awareness
✨ Meet kind, open-hearted humans
✨ Challenge themselves while honouring their own boundaries
✨ Experience the joy of creating movement together in the moment
Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been practicing for years, we’d love to move with you**. Join us every week!**
🙌 Wednesdays @ the Dovercourt House
• 6:30 pm: Guided class
• 7:30-9 pm: Open movement jam
🌿 Sundays @ Trinity Bellwoods Park
• 3-5 pm: Movement explorations in the park
• If it rains, we move indoors to the Dovercourt House
We also love inviting guest teachers from a variety of movement practices to share their unique perspectives, and we have lots of exciting classes coming up over the next few weeks. Check out the link in our bio to learn more and sign up!
✨ This Wednesday: Join us for an all-levels Contact Improv class at 6:30 pm, followed by the jam.
Whether you’re looking for a new movement practice, a creative outlet, or simply a welcoming community to be part of, we’d love to move with you.
Come as you are. Bring your curiosity 💜
