Intro to Momentum E-Course (Rope & Fabric)

An introduction to dynamic technique. This course is a robust collection of instructional videos on foundational beats and how to use them.

The material in the course is shown on aerial rope, but all of the skills and technique can be performed on fabric as well. This course is fully online and fully self directed, in that once you enroll in the course you have access to the information indefinitely so you can work thorough this material as quickly or leisurely as you like.

The course is broken down into seven units sandwiched by an introduction and a conclusion. Each unit has a narrow focus and builds on the previous information. In this course I discuss how to hang, give technique for fundamental beats, and also discuss applications for each of the beats.

Mindful Bending

Want to get bendier but don’t know where to start? Keep doing the same stretches with little improvements? There is so much seemingly conflicting info and programming out there, it can get pretty overwhelming, and who has the time? I would be thrilled to help you sift through the chatter and help you reach your bendy goals. I approach flexibility from a place of being open to listening and noticing our own bodies. Each session is highly personalized with the option of adding multiple sessions per week or homework with check ins!

Although I have been a lifelong mover, my passion for contortion began as an adult. I have studied so many different movement modalities including different styles of dance, yoga, pilates, flow and aerial arts, in addition to contortion. My training approach melds fundamental ideas from different disciplines and is informed by my background in Anatomy and Physiology from my Bachelor of Science. Movement is a practice and this is no different. Artists that want to work with me on a weekly basis see the most consistent improvements and successes and that’s what this program is for.

Reach out to set your schedule either via any DM or look@circusecho.com. Once you’re on the books we will begin with an initial consultation (30 minutes) via zoom before your first movement session. You’ll need to book your sessions the month before you start to ensure availability. Currently Monday’s are the only day I am teaching unless you book multiple sessions per week. These sessions are available via zoom or in person at my personal studio south of Atlanta.

Rates: paid by the month (4 weeks) via zelle/venmo/paypal – fees not included
1 session per week $180/month ($45)
2 sessions per week $320/month ($40)
3 sessions per week $420/month ($35)

These session rates are only available for monthly packages. One-off lessons at this rate cannot be purchased. Regular rates are $85/hr aerial $50/hr ground.
