The only thing better than circus is partner circus! If you know, you know. If you don’t know, we want you to know. Come & join us for ultimate partnering fun!

This retreat is geared toward folks who are interested in working with others in the air & on the ground. We’ll cover partnering fundamentals such as communicating with our words & with our bodies. We will study tempo and timing, calibration and cueing, and cultivating trust in the air.

For seasoned duos, we’ll dig deeper into refinement through emphasis on timing, shared decision-making, and mutual awareness in the air. We will investigate how transitions are shaped by connection and listening, and we will work toward that moment when effort, timing, and intention align - the moment where seamlessness in partnering lies.

Participants will leave this immersion with many tools for their home practice and while our focus will be on traditional partner Straps & DuoTrapeze, the sequences, skills, & drills are transferable for loop-straps, silks, sling, lyra, invented apparatus, etc. We’ll also sprinkle in some non-aerial work with partner acrobatics.

*Join with a friend or come solo and we’ll pair you up!
