Explore the world of aerial skills with contemporary dance movement! This class will exercise the techniques of ground dancing as they relate to choreography with the aerial apparatuses (silks, sling and lyra). While learning aerial skills, technique and choreography, we will be exploring the dances between ground and air. We will play with the transition-less movement on the ground to in the air. Students will learn stylized air repertory or set phrases and then explore how to make it your own!
