Spiral Camp was founded in 2019 in the San Francisco Bay Area by Shira Yaziv and Sebastian Grubb.
Our workshops are based on dance, acrobatics, contact improvisation, somatics, creative movement and functional anatomy. We're inspired to help participants improve their movement quality, learn new skills and connect with others.
