HAND BALANCING IMMERSION w/ Fleeky Flanko
Join Fleeky in in-depth Intermediate Handstand Workshop.

VERTICAL DANCE w/ Nimble Arts
A unique workshop where we dance on the walls and change the rules of gravity! Using harnesses and rope tools from rock climbers and arborists, you’ll learn the grace and weightlessness available when we turn the world on its side. This workshop is excellent for any movers curious to dance and tumble with a weightlessness that allows for softer impacts and a more gentle way of flipping and flying.

Fri. 5:30 – 9 pm
Sat. 10 am – 1 pm & 2 – 4:30 pm
Sun. 10 am – 1 pm

PREREQUISITES: None! Saddles, Ropes, Helmets, Safety Glasses, ascending/descending options will all be provided by Renaissance Acres Tree Care. Additional aerial dance style harnesses will be provided by Nimble Arts. You may bring whatever harnesses or gear you have (please mark it carefully for identification so we know it is yours) and it must pass inspection prior to use. 16 & up or permission of instructor.

COST: $350 + $50 equipment fee
