Hi all... just went to the Fairfax jam last night (Monday ) and felt like letting folks know about it... really a happening jam! There were about 28 people who came last night making it the second biggest jam in the bay area behind the SF Tuesday night jam at Counterpulse.
The Fairfax jam is 8p-10p every Monday at Marin Ayurveda (85 Bolinas Rd in Fairfax). There is a warm up class 7p-8p which is usually taught by Rana Stewart, although I'll usually teach there when I'm in town. The vibe is really friendly and inviting and at the same time very focussed. It's a small space, but if it gets too crowded, they open up the yoga studio next door, so it works out well. There is ambient music at the jam. It ends at 10p on the nose, so best to get there early.
For info sake, there are also the following jams
Tuesdays 8p-11p at Counterpulse in SF (Mission and 9th) class with changing instructors 6p-8p. This is still the biggest jam. nice floor, although they could use better lighting.
Saturdays 3:30p-5:30p at 8th Street Studio in Berkeley (8th & Dwight) (sometimes a class beforehand). This is the longest running jam, but is a bit quieter in terms of numbers than it once was... I thin there were about 15 people there this last Saturday, which seemed typical.
Sundays 1:30-4p at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory (Mission and 11th). newer jam that I haven't been to yet, so I can't say anything about it, except that i have the sense that it's smallish, which makes sense as it is just starting out
Of course, the other really big place to go do contact is Friday night Dance Jam, which I think something like 150 to 200 or so people go to every Friday in Berkeley. two rooms of dj'd barefoot dancing. probably a good 30 or so people there at least dabbling in contact over the course of the evening. very fun space! 8th & Dwight in Berkeley 8:30p - 1a
regards
