| Jams | |
Jams are CI sessions for shared practice and improvisation. Our jams start with 1 hour class and mostly have live music. CI Edinburgh is lucky to have enthusiastic and talented musicians/dancers who improvise with us on Chinese harp, harmonium, flute, bass guitar, keyboards, accordion, vocals, which makes our jams colourful and a beautiful sharing of improvised dance and music. Everyone is welcome to jam – beginners and experienced alike. Please click here if you are interested in classes |
