Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a transformational movement practice created by Vangelis Legakis. It is not simply a dance form — it is a way of meeting ourselves and each other more honestly, using the body as the medium.
CBC integrates contact improvisation, authentic movement, somatics, yoga, qigong, meditation, and philosophies from Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism into a single practice. The objective is not to become a better dancer, but to develop emotional regulation, authentic relationships, healing, leadership, embodiment, and community — through movement.
“Movement has the capacity to take us to the home of the soul.”Anna Halprin
A journey, not a class
CBC unfolds through four levels of facilitator training — from the foundations open to everyone, through to certified teachers who carry the practice into their own communities. Since 2019, more than 500 facilitators have trained across more than 50 countries, forming a living, growing network of embodied connection around the world.
