WHAT:  In this workshop, you will learn how to access your inner dancer through acquiring skills and exercises to improve your lines in the air. From correctly pointing your toes, to those pesky microbends, to what to do with your hands, we will explore simple, effective ways to apply these alignment concepts in the air. This workshop will include an intermediate level flow aerial sequence on sling to apply these alignment concepts, followed by choosing your own apparatus to further apply what we have learned to a short sequence you already know. Come to prep for your "Beyond the Gate" audition, or simply come learn how to maximize your beautiful lines in the air!

PREREQUISITES: Intermediate level aerial; must be able to comfortably invert in the air.

WHEN: Friday November 21, 6:30-8:00 p.m.

COST: Early Bird $65 ($75 after 11/14)
