No experience required, however, dancers should know an 8-count swing out for dancing into the aerials. Dancers must sign up with a partner as we will not be rotating partners during the workshop. A Pair Pass includes one base and one flyer. Advanced registration is required and will not be available at the door. Get excited and come fly with us!

Things to remember…

Wear comfortable clothes that allow for free movement, free of belts or zippers that may catch, long sleeve shirts to avoid skin friction, sneakers with good support, and pants for flyers who will be going upside-down!

Water, snacks, deodorant, mints, band aids, spare shirts, and a small towel for the sweat! 🙂
