Welcome to the 25 th year of the Contact Jam at Harbin Hot Springs

What's New?

Like a Phoenix, the Jam seems to be self-renewing. With this year, 2010, we are on to our third group of organizers.
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!
  • Changes in the Organizers. Gabrielle, Katja and Eunice have let go of their organizer responsibilities, Jeff Nash, Emma Hawley have taken them on!
  • Sliding scales for registration fees.
