Unlock the power and precision of your lower limbs with this deep-dive class focused on the knee and ankle. Join Laurel Wolfzinger, PT, DPT to explore the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee and ankle in circus-specific contexts, unpacking how these joints function under load, in motion, and in extreme ranges. Learn how to identify imbalances, prevent common injuries, and enhance your performance with targeted strengthening and mobility techniques. You’ll come away with a clear understanding of how the knee and ankle function in dynamic circus movement, tools to build joint resilience, strength, and stability. Perfect for aerialists, acrobats, hand-balancers, dancers, and movers of all kinds who want to develop stronger, more adaptable legs from the ground up. Ages 16+.

Beats, tempos, and rolls, oh my! In this workshop, we will break down tempos both below and on the bar; beats from knees, armpits, and elbows; and rolls from hips and elbows. The workshop culminates in time to explore connections between the different types of dynamics. Students will be given time to string their favorite skills together into an original sequence.

No previous dance trapeze experience is required--this workshop is a fun gateway to the apparatus for silk, lyra, and hammock students.
