Site Dance: Choreographers and the Lure of Alternative Spaces

Children's Aerial Creation Summer Workshop (Ages 9-14)
This workshop is about creation and collaboration! We will impart basic aerial silks techniques, learning how to be in the air, and of course, how to get back to the ground safely. Together we will explore different exercises with which to generate choreography and find inspiration from our environment and from each other. By the last day of class, we hope to generate an original collaborative work to perform for friends and family.
Monday - Friday, 10:00-12:00pm, July 12-16th
$150

Private Classes
Private Classes are available by appointment. A private class can be a unique activity for special occasions like birthday parties, field trips, or just visiting Austin. They are 1.5 hours and can be tailored to your specific needs, this includes learning new vocabulary, specialized choreography, performance quality, extension, strength, etc.
$65 for up to 3 people
$85 for 4 people
$105 for 5 people
$125 for 6 people


Aerial silks are a challenging apparatus and classes are offered in sessions to allow students time to build strength needed to maintain and navigate off the ground. Each Group Session can be repeated. Often, students repeat sessions to build strength and confidence before moving into intermediate classes. Teachers take this into consideration and vary the classes accordingly.


Class attire is tight-fitting workout clothes and bare feet. Capri-length pants are recommended. Long tight-fitting pants work, but may need to be rolled up for certain vocabulary. Leotards and unitards are also recommended as they will provide more coverage for your skin. Students may want to bring a shirt with sleeves to protect their under arms. Clothes that are too baggy may become tangled in the cloth, and loose clothing or short shorts may fall over your face or gather into uncomfortable positions. Students should refrain from wearing jewelry that will snag or rip aerial fabric, this includes diamond or rings with sharp edges, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pants with obtrusive zippers and buttons, diamond-encrusted sports bras, etc.


If students miss a class, they can be made up in Open Studio. Open Studios are for enrolled students, or students who have taken aerial classes with Blue Lapis Light. Unless you are making up a class, Open Studios are $12. Open Studios are supervised, but meant to be self-guided practice times. They are Fridays 6:00-7:30pm and Sundays 3:00-4:30pm.
