  Leah's Doubles Trapeze Workshop will look at techniques of both flying and basing.

The workshop will also help students find new ways of discovering moves. No previous partnering experience is necessary but basic aerial experience is required!

What to Wear & Bring

Wear close fitting clothes, in which you are comfortable moving and going upside down. Tights or leggings that go down to mid-calf are ideal. Wearing/bringing layers that cover the midriff and underarms will help prevent fabric abrasions. Please remove all jewelry, buckles, gum, etc. before class.

Please bring a bottle of water. It's best not to eat anything heavy up to an hour before class. However, make sure you've eaten something prior so that you'll have energy for class! You can also bring a light snack just in case.
