Strike A Pose! - Leah Grandstaff
Strike A Pose! - Leah Grandstaff
Silks - ALL Levels
Saturday 12p-130p (UP)
Strike a Pose - get your vogue on!
We’ll identify & play with some common & unique wraps that lend to ultimate shape-making opportunities. From the simple to the complex, get ready to explore with the inherently beautiful aerial silks. We’ll identify the shapes we gravitate toward as individuals as well as our personal preferences for aesthetics. We can’t all contort, but we can focus on incorporating the shapes our bodies like to make & look good making into our movement practice!
Level: ALL (beginner & beyond)
Prerequisites: None.
Leah Grandstaff Bio
Leah Grandstaff (aka LeahTard Wedgie) began pushing her boundaries and exploring strength and grace through aerial acrobatics in 2013. Discovering herself through this modality inspired her to share this movement art with others.

She co-developed & currently co-facilitates Aerial Cirque over Denver’s ACE recognized L1/2 Multi Apparatus Teacher Training. Her teaching philosophy is founded upon the conceptual understanding of aerial movement as well as encouraging her students to identify strengths, challenge limitations & have fun in their journeys. She teaches aerial classes at Aerial Cirque over Denver, Gravity Aerial Arts, Aircat Aerial Arts, Frequent Flyers & offers private lessons at LeahTard’s Creative Sanctuary in RiNo. She has been a cast member of the Phantom Circus since 2016 & In the Wings aerial dance company since 2020!
