Intended to raise awareness of, and encourage thinking about, the roots and purpose of JAMS within the movement practice known as Contact Improvisation. See also #cijams

Refers to Contact Improvisation (CI) events known as Jams. "Contact Improvisation jams are leaderless practice environments in which dancers practice the dance form with whoever gathers—friends or strangers, old, young, experienced, novice. Some jams take place in a studio for a few hours once a week. Longer retreat jams might last several days, sometimes held in hot springs resorts or other retreat locations where dancers can practice at any hour of the day in the studio/lodge or take a rejuvenating soak or steam in the mineral waters."
