Vertical Dance Choreographic Creation Lab with Aeriosa | May - June 2025

Join Aeriosa Dance Artists for a progressive series using rope and harness systems to inspire your creativity while developing choreography on the ground and in the air. This choreographic lab will utilize the knowledge from the introductory course and focus on play, improvisation, collaboration, exploring movement quality, and creating choreography. We will take our warm up to the next level by learning a flowing warm up sequence on the ropes. Bring your curiosity for dance-making and expressive movement into the room while exploring solos, duets and trios in the harness at different heights.
