Circus Factory is thrilled to bring you a 2-day Easter Vertical Intensive with Elaine Mc Cague.

Vertical Aerial Intensive Details

The vertical intensive will focus on:

A strong emphasis will be placed on technique in the conditioning and development of dynamic skills on rope (silks will also be available to work on).

From the ground to the air we will approach the apparatus to cover twists, rope entrances and flairs, and then continue in the air working the necessary methodologies to delve into dynamic tricks, momentum pathways and movement sequences.

At the end of each session there will be a moment for creative movement exploration with new repertoire learned. Jam packed!!!

The class will consist of a warm-up, stretches focused on shoulder mobility and work with appropriate progressions to suit differing levels.

Date: March 31st – April 1st
Time: 2PM – 5PM
Level: Intermediates / Advanced
Price: €60 for the 2 day intensive
