Important Note: The maximum number of students for the class is six. It will be on a first come, first serve basis.
Also, bringing a yoga mat for the warm up sequence is recommended.
Always wanted to try Trapeze? Here’s your chance! Take a class with Colleen! You’ll learn a warm-up for the body, and injury prevention exercises for the shoulders as well as skills in the air on the static trapeze. There will be three classes offered:
Intro to Trapeze
Sunday February 10th, 12pm-2pm
Have you wanted to try static trapeze and never had the chance? Trapeze newbies, this class is for you!
Prerequisite: Be in a healthy place with your shoulders; no previous aerial experience necessary.
Beginning Static Trapeze
Sunday February 10th, 5pm-7pm
Have you done just a bit of static trapeze or lyra (such as Intro to Trapeze last time) and want to refine and add to your skills? This class is for you!
Prerequisite: this workshop is for anyone who attended Intro to Trapeze last time, or have done just a bit of static trapeze or lyra.
Continuing Static Trapeze
Sunday February 10th, 7:30-9:30pm
This workshop focuses on building your balance, strength, flexibility, and static trapeze vocabulary. Class includes a quick warm-up, as well as floor exercises followed by technique, aerial conditioning and skills on the static trapeze. We’ll spend the bulk of the workshop building your trapeze vocabulary as well as honing your technique in the skills you already have in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
Prerequisite: previous, multiple experiences on trapeze or lyra within the past year.
