Experience the transformative power of Aerial Dance
Bone Hooks Performance by MurmurationsDance
Murmurations Aerial is located at 208 Flynn Ave in the South End of Burlington, VT. We have 4-6 rigging points in this gorgeous, light-filled studio, perfect to help our students continue to increase their technique and artistry. Experienced teachers Nicole Dagesse, Laura Savard, alex prussin, Julia Berke, and Jacob Ireland combine dance, aerial technique, aerial theory, and conditioning in empowering group classes and private lessons.
Aerial dance is a form of movement that uses an apparatus (like a fabric, rope, hoop or trapeze) as a partner from which dancers can hang, ascend, pull, and experiment with gravity. We offer Aerial Fabric (hangs from the celing with two “tails”), Aerial Sling (hangs from the ceiling in a loop, like a hammock), Aerial Rope, and Aerial Hoop/Lyra (a strong metal hoop hung vertically). Aerial Yoga also uses the fabric hung as a sling, but the practice is more individual, centered with breath, and lower to the earth.
All bodies are welcome in aerial dance! If you are interested in trying a class, contact Nicole@murmurationsaerial.org. Foundations is a great place to start, though some prefer a few private lessons to learn the basics and adaptations that might be appropriate for specific body needs.
