Craft Development: Aerial Dance Workshop

Craft Development series:

Aerial Dance Workshop
with Gabrielle Martin, Corporeal Imago (Ci)

This aerial dance workshop will focus on the foundational techniques required to dance in the air using aerial rope. Tailored to dancers, it will focus on techniques for efficiency, how to weave your body around the rope, locks and keys, proper inversion technique, and creative ways to ascend. Offered by Dance Centre Artist-in-Residence company Corporeal Imago, this workshop is taught by Gabrielle Martin, a former aerialist of Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia.

For advanced level dancers of any discipline.
Limited capacity: 9-12 people maximum.

Safety mats will be used under each rope. Participants should wear form fitting tops, or long tops that can be tucked in, and that cover the underarms. Participants should also wear thick leggings or form-fitting dance pants. It is ideal if leggings are long enough to be pulled down over the heel. Otherwise, bring a pair of form fitting socks with the toes cut out to wear as ankle protectors.
