About Aerial Skills Week
Select from a main focus on trapeze, aerial fabric, lyra or rope, then pick from a variety of other aerials and circus skills for your other 2 training areas each day. The schedule includes a warm up, apparatus time split into skill levels, and workshops on injury prevention, rigging basics and conditioning.

Week A will include one extra rotation each day, plus open training time. Those with more experience will be able to progress at their own pace in either week.
