Tree Dancing Retreat

Climb Trees With Rope/Harnesses
& Dance Where Gravity Feels Suspended
Facilitated By Nimble Arts & Mark Przekurat

October 6-8

Join an aerialist and arborist team for a unique outdoor workshop!

We will discover the freedom and joys of climbing trees with ropes/harnesses and dancing where gravity feels suspended. This is an experiential workshop intended to offer curious movers – aerialists, climbers, researchers, dancers, arborists, acrobats, explorers – an opportunity to ascend into a world of physical and personal discovery. We’ll teach you all the ropes you need to know, including physical and creative techniques while giving you space to explore at your own pace.
