Saturday Aerial Tissu Workshop

Duration: 90 min; $85; What could be more beautiful than an elegant ballet? How about a ballet in the sky! Aerial dance is a special form of aerial arts with the focus on the inherent beauty and fluidity of movement, as opposed to the tricks and stunts taught in circus aerial arts classes. Though it's important learn the "tricks" of aerial dance, you also have to learn the art of the transition.

Your instructor, Helen Dickson, will show you the ropes (tissues) in a safe environment perfect for dancers of all levels.
