Welcome to the 25 th year of the Contact Jam at Harbin Hot Springs
Like a Phoenix, the Jam seems to be self-renewing.
With this year, 2010, we are on to our third group of organizers.
Gabrielle, Katja and Eunice have let go of their organizer responsibilities,
Jeff Nash, Emma Hawley have taken them on!
Our focus this year is to make the jam as affordable as possible. To do this, we've
made the following changes:
- Added a three day option (instead of four days). This cuts about 25% off the cost of the four day option.
- Two meals a day (instead of three). After years of getting "too much food" feedback, we've reduced the jam costs by making more time to dance!
- Sliding scales for registration fees.
