Gravity defying. Floating transitions. Effortless power. These are hallmarks of the traditional circus art form that is now the highlight of many contemporary circus performances. In this 3 day Chinese pole immersion you’ll hone your skills, clean your technique, find your unique style, and build sequences. Whether you’re learning the basics or throwing sick tricks, we’ll meet you at your level and give you the creative tools to develop new transitions and connections, help you find your flow, and embellish your movement quality. Each day will begin and end with proper warm-ups and cool-downs to help prepare your body for all the hard work and fun that awaits you.
