Aerial Sling, Lyra, Silks, & Straps

Casa Chango in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

This immersive week is for aerial students who want to do aerial arts in the most beautiful location, see the best sunsets, and explore the beaches along this part of the Oaxaca coast. Aerial classes will include skills, sequences, and creative artistry on aerial sling, lyra, silks, & straps.

Enjoy 2 classes each day.  

Morning class includes technical training for skills, sequencing, transitions and spinning to advance your training.  Your teachers will also give you drills to take home to work towards continuous and efficient progress.

Afternoon classes explore creativity and choreography on the floor and on apparatus. Creative classes will focus on artistry, choreography, dynamic nuances, and musicality. Students who are interested in making an act can start the process on this retreat.

There will also be some writing classes to go deeper into your creative and introspective practices.

Open gym is available outside of class times so students can practice and play on any apparatus.

The rest of your time will be spent eating delicious food, swimming in the pool, lounging in hammocks, and enjoying being in nature.  There will be time to explore local markets and beaches as well as the local night life.

Sweet Retreats has encouraged me to be a better version of myself both physically in the circus arts and also personally in my interactions with friends and the community.  The instructors at Sweet Retreats are not only world class performers, they are also some of the most caring, beautiful, and authentic individuals. I’m so fortunate to have discovered this paradise of athletic endeavors, delicious food, unending laughter, and all within the gorgeous surrounding.
