Day 1: Trapeze Trickery

Day 2: Power Hungry Trapeze

Day 3: Trapeze Drama


Day 1: Trapeze Trickery - Acrobaric Aerial Technique


Augment your technique on trapeze by learning the core concepts behind dynamic movement and fundamental drills designed to increase power and efficiency. We’ll tackle key skills for generating powerful swings and exciting circles. Prerequisites: Students must have a single-arm hang on each side and be comfortable hanging from knees and ankles. 


Day 2: Power Hungry Trapeze - Advanced Aerial Acrobatics


In this workshop we hone in on advanced dynamic trapeze tricks and sequences! We’ll cover the notorious helix family of tricks, release moves and daring drops.  Prerequisites: This is for the intermediate to advanced student, fully capable of pulling over out of a beat and comfortable with knee beats and ankle hangs.


Day 3: Drama Trapeze - Dramatic Flare for Dance Trapeze


Take your trapeze skills to the next level and learn to move with confidence on a trapeze that spins, orbits and swings! This workshop will focus on bar manipulations, fast spin skills, as well as orbiting and swinging. Enhance your trapeze skills with flair and flourish.  Prerequisites: Students must be able to pull over from standing on the floor with trapeze at head height and have strong single-knee and one-arm hangs.

SLING October 17, 18 2026

Day 1: The Swing of Sling - Pendulum Dynamics


Learn the techniques for executing smooth, effortless beats and explosive tricks. Want consecutive elbow circles but don’t have them yet? Afraid to drop into ankle hang? Dive into the core of dynamic movement under a master technician’s eye and push your dynamic sequencing skills to the next level. Prerequisites: students must be able to invert into the sling from standing on the ground with the bottom of the sling hanging at head height. A familiarity with beats will be helpful, but is not required.


Day 2: Fierce Flow Sling - Rolling Twisting and Swinging


For those students already familiar with beats and ankle drops, take this workshop to push your dynamic sequencing skills to the next level. Learn more complex beat styles, understand rolling versus twisting, and how to link multiple dynamic skills into smooth, continuous, acrobatic movement. All power, no plop!  Prerequisites: Students must be able to invert into the sling from standing on the ground with the bottom of the sling hanging at head height. A strong familiarity with both beats and rolling will be helpful

FLYBY FLEX: MOBILITY FOR AERIAL DYNAMICS Saturday, October 1


FLYBY FLEX: Mobility for Aerial Dynamics


Have you ever watched someone’s beats and wondered, “How are those swings SO big?!” Strength, technique and coordination are key players in powerful aerial dynamics, but mobility is also a critical factor. Learn how to train flexibility specifically in order to optimize your body’s muscular engagement for dynamic skills! No prerequisites or advanced experience necessary.
