Fabric, Lyra, & Aerial Dance Classes
Posted January 31, 2011
Beginner and open-level aerial fabric lass
Learn the fundamentals of aerial fabric (sometimes referred to as "tissu," "silks," or "chiffon"). Just as you've seen in the modern circuses and variety shows and of course in Las Vegas!! Climbing, wraps, foot locks, drops and poses, build muscle and with gravity! Aerial dance is sweeping the country, and at MMAC we are no different. Use all your dance ability along with a series of aerial apparatus from stretching, to combinations, all without the constraints of the ground!
Tuesdays & Thursdays, 10:30am–noon

Tuesdays, noon–1pm
Open-level lyra
Also known as "cerceux" or "hoop," lyra is a great way to combine fitness with aerial dance. The lyra is a steel hoop about 36" in diameter. It helps build strength and flexibility. Prior experience is helpful, but you can start with just an open mind and a sense of adventure!
Thursdays, noon–1pm
About the Instructor:
Bobby Hedglin-Taylor's career combines 25 years of theatrical
expertise and 17 years of circus performance. As a professional actor he often utilizes his aerial and circus skills when performing in musicals and shows that use aerial acrobatics. For the past 10 years he's worked as an aerial sequence choreographer, staging 22 productions of the musical Barnum, as well as training and sequencing for other shows. He has former students performing all over the world including in Ringling Brothers, Cirque Du Soleil, Disney, Sea World, the Pickle Family Circus, the Big Apple Circus, on cruise ships, and on Broadway. Bobby usually coaches privately, training circus professionals in aerial arts such as Spanish web, static and swing trapeze, cloud swing, aerial fabric, hammock, dance trapeze, cord de lisse, tight rope, and juggling. "I enjoy all aspects of height, flight and aerial dynamics, giving people a great, safe class with high energy and fun! My philosophy is very simple: 'why walk when you can fly?' "
