Fabric, Lyra, & Aerial Dance Classes
Posted April 7, 2010
Note: Posted as received.
Beginner and open-level aerial fabric class
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

Beginner-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. No prior experience
required, just an open mind and a sense of adventure!
Thursdays, noon–1pm
