Just the Two of Us - Partnering with Two People, One Fabric - Sarah Dawn & Leah Grandstaff

$59.00

Fabric - Level Intermediate - Advanced
SUNDAY 4p-530p (AC)

Grab a friend and get vertical! This is a partnering workshop for two people on one fabric. We will safely explore partnering concepts such as weight-sharing, vertical and horizontal mirroring, climbs, basing and flying, and even drops. Some past experience with aerial partnering will be helpful, but not necessary. Two people on one fabric is hard work…attendees must feel comfortable with inversions, dead hangs, and being in the air for a few minutes at a time.

She also has a deep passion for teaching and loves to share with others her aerial knowledge and commitment to physical, mental, and creative growth, inspiring them to lead healthy lives through circus. Sarah began her teaching career eight years ago, starting with her own studio in West Oakland, Such Great Heights Aerial Arts, and continuing to teach at studios around the Bay Area and Denver, including Kinetic Arts, Trapeze Arts, The Circus Collective, Frequent Flyers, Live Beyond Limit, and others.
