Valerie Morris at ADF 2022

Immersion

Rope and Harness: Tethered Dancing (All Levels) – Week B

Week B: Mon, Aug. 8-Fri, Aug 12. Location: FFP Studio 1. $300.

Pre-requisites: Ages 14+. Comfort in a climbing harness over extended time and inverting in a harness. No previous aerial experience needed. 

This exhilarating immersion will be structured around learning basic rope and harness dance techniques (not against a wall), as well as the rigging to take this dance form anywhere. We will be working both close to the ground and higher in the air, with ascenders and descenders. The vocabulary taught will be combined with guided solo and group improvisations as part of the exploration process. This is an amazing core workout and is not as intense on the arms for those taking other aerial classes at the Festival. Please wear multiple snug layers around your hips and waist for your comfort. 

If you have a harness, please bring it with you, otherwise, one will be provided. No previous aerial experience is necessary, other than: be prepared to have fun and create!
