SUMMER 2020
SUMMER Traincation With REBEKAH LEACH 2020
Calling all aerial enthusiasts! Come nerd out with the aerial brain of Rebekah Leach.
Spend a week in delving into the theory of fabric & sling.
Each day offers morning sessions with technique & theory training, and afternoon-evening sessions of creative play time. At the end of four days, you will perform a work-in-progress creative act to go home with.
These retreats are especially great for teachers who are looking for new and fresh material to bring back to their students or students who are wanting the extra layer of depth in their training. You will refine your technique, learn tons of new moves, plus get more comfortable working creatively, increasing your comfort zone on sling or fabric.
During the 4 days of traincation, you can take just one apparatus or both (so long as you meet the prerequisites).
(Hint: Most people take both!).

For the Sling: You must be able to invert easily over and over again, front hip balance, climb to catcher's, hip key, and have a good deal of sling love and experience.
For the Fabric: You must be able to invert, hip key, straddle knee climb, belay, s-wrap, catcher's wrap, crossback straddle, etc. Also, you must have a good deal of experience with various entries to ALL the things.

"I wanted to send a huge thank you to you and your students for hosting the summer traincation at your studio. Thank you for everything. I can't even imagine how much effort and coordination went into the planning or the sacrifices you had to make regarding time with family, but I want you to know that, at least for one very inexperienced student, it was--without exaggeration--a life-altering experience. And it solidified a deep desire to teach in the aerial arts someday." ~ Dori M.
"One week in Colorado at Aerial Works has been an immense experience. I really don’t think I can emphasis enough what a pioneer Rebekah Leach is. She truly thinks in fabric. Inspirational coach and mentor, logical and creative in equal measure with so much to give. If you get the chance to visit - grab it with both hands. A beautiful person, running a beautiful studio with a whole bunch of beautiful students who made us feel more than welcome!!!" - Kate Edwards, Spin City Fitness |
"I have to say I enjoyed every moment, particularly the skill-share time and the theory. My brain will not stop thinking about sling and ways in and ways out and around.." ~Octavia B. |
