Dragonfly Aerial & Circus Arts Studio

Private lessons for 1 student

Students can perform inversions in the air on silks. Focuses on developing fabric awareness in the air & experimentation with transitions between skills. Continued movement through a curriculum of skills. Continued exploration of movement & performance styles.

Designed for students who've completed Knots A / B classes. Students must be able to climb to the top of the silks before they can take this class. Teaches fundamentals of vertical hanging, including single & double foot-locks. Introduces inversions.

Designed for students new to aerial silk fabrics. Begins with basic, foundational skills on knotted silks. Builds strength & conditioning. Advances through new poses + sequences as students get stronger. Teaches students to climb vertical hanging silks without knots. From the safety of a knot, this class prepares students to perform without one.

Our aerial silks classes provide new & experienced students with a specially-developed curriculum that can transform beginners into performing aerialists! Every student starts by learning foundational basics that develop strength & body awareness in the air. Our class structure allows students to progress at their own pace.

Duo trapeze combines strength, agility, and partner movements that are sure to wow a crowd. No partners are required for class. We will pair people accordingly. Jean shorts or grippy fabric for bottoms and a shirt with sleeves is advised. Be prepared to test your strength and team work to make beautiful art!

Be prepared to spin and learn to be dynamic in elegant ways. You may even be surprised how many tricks from other apparatuses transition to working on a dance trapeze. Wear clothes that protect your skin from being rubbed off by the bars or ropes. If you have trapeze boots, wear them.

Whitney is a former competitive gymnastics coach who has been teaching mini trampoline, tumbling, and fabrics at Dragonfly for 8 years. This workshop is all levels and open to beginners.

Combine aerial equipment or invent something you've never seen before to explore and play, with a focus on group collaboration. All levels welcome.

Adagio is a dance of balance and flexibility. This is not a true hand-to-hand class. We will be finding unique and non-traditional ways to learn body-balancing tricks that can flow together to create an act. No partners are required for class, as we will pair people accordingly.

Get off the ground in ways you may not have tried before (or want to do more of). All levels welcome. Be prepared to climb around a little!

Learn to walk on stilts! This is an all-levels workshop, and beginners are welcome.

An introductory lesson to Spanish Web. Learn how to safely tie Prussic knots, how to safely use hand loop, and how to properly set the web. We will also explore the delights of hanging from our ankles! Evelyn has trained in Spanish Web for 4 years and done numerous performances.

Most of us start our aerial journey by memorizing set wraps and sequences. Over time, we can begin mixing the basic colors we have on our palette to expand our vocabulary and create new possibilities. This workshop will focus on recognizing and exploring patterns and similarities in fabric wraps to help you develop your creative fabric theory brain.

As you expand your vertical vocabulary, aerial choreography can become less about what skill or drop you are wrapping and more about how you get there. In this workshop we will consider techniques such as slack drags / pulling loops, jump-throughs and hip hops that allow for unexpected transitions and alternate ways of putting on wraps.

A chance to try out fabrics, trapeze, and lyra, all in one class! For beginners and those needing a refresh.

This workshop will explore how our bodies carve through space with the various dynamic pathways on rope. We will consider skills/topics such as the fundamentals of the basic beat pathways, flares in and out of hip keys, front & back balance, hip hops, and short patterns or sequences.

Each Summer, Dragonfly hosts 2 Circus Camps for kids ages 6-14. For 5 days, our trained instructors coach your kids in a variety of circus skills, including aerial silks, trapeze, lyra, stilts, tumbling / acrobatics, juggling, balance board, & more. At Circus Camp, your child will have fun while learning circus arts in a safe environment, as well as build confidence, learn teamwork, gain a love of physical activity, make friends, & will be challenged intellectually & physically. At the end of Camp, we hold a student showcase where your kids will show off skills they learned during the week!
