Prerequisites:
Those newer to circus are welcome, but the shorter daily schedule for week B will be more comfortable for folks newer to acrobatics, recovering from injury, or those looking for a focused schedule and time to explore the area. 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.
More Info:
Long sleeves and martial arts style shoes with flexible soles are recommended. For those who want the full Vermont experience we’ll add in a bonfire night, dinner at a restaurant on the river and morning run/walk or meditation time along the river path.
