Workshop Specifications

  • Trapezes must be cotton rope or cord rope for any workshop with rope play. NO NYLON ROPES!

  • Swivels must be attached to each trapeze rope for ease of rolling and health of trapeze.

  • Students can bring their own trapezes and adapt, but no demoing will be done on trapeze that are not cotton or corde. I prefer to bring and work on my own bar that I do not share. I can bring a few trapezes for an additional charge/baggage fee. No charge for local or drivable locations.

  • Workshop length 60-90 minutes. I am flexible with your schedule.

  • Max number of students: Depending on points available- prefer 2 students to a point. Minimum number is 4 to run, Max is 14 (if 8 points are available.)

  • Pricing: I prefer a 70/30 split with studio.
