Kris has been dancing Contact improve for 18 years, primarily on the West Coast (Portland , Seattle, San Francisco, & Boulder). Before finding Contact he struggled though years of Ballroom classes, and also briefly studied Belly Dance & Capoeira. Both his teaching and dance styles center on an understanding of basic concepts while choosing not to be unnecessarily limited or weighed down by them. From that starting lace he trains muscle memory, and listens for cues to initiate unlikely explorations like last years Octopus inspired workshop.
He co-facilitates the Thursday Night Contact Jam at the Baker Building, and is an active member of the Drip and Nectar Fusion communities
