Past Events
Burlesque 101: Making Shapes with Venus Von Tramp
Friday, June 13th @ 6:00 - 7:30 pm
Price: $20
Event Address: Prairie Circus Arts (195 Collegiate St.)
Capacity: 15 people
Age: 18+
No experience necessary, come play with your sensual side and learn some burlesque fundamentals. This workshop will focus on getting comfortable with sensual expression, and finding the shapes and images we can create with our bodies that can be used as a foundation for choreographing our own burlesque acts.
It will be silly, sensual, and fun. There will be some breath work, a warm up and some accessible strength training cause we can do anything we want, we just need to be strong enough! And the bulk of our time will be focused on creating shapes and imagery that will come together in a choreo at the end.

Rope Workshop
with Hillary Flesher
Friday, December 20th @ 6:30-7:30 pm
Price: $25
Event Address: Prairie Circus Arts (195 Collegiate St.)
Prerequisites: Comfortable with aerial straddles/inverts and can climb to the top of the rope/silks, experience with other aerial apparatuses.
Join Prairie Circus Arts for an aerial rope workshop that will introduce you to this new apparatus offering.
In this workshop we will briefly look at a few intermediate/advanced aerial silks moves that transition nicely over to the aerial rope to understand the feel of the aerial rope and then explore new poses and transitions that flow into basic dynamics.
If you are an experienced aerial artist looking for a new challenge, this workshop might be a perfect fit.
Hillary has been training and teaching aerial rope since 2017 and is currently based at PCA teaching adult aerial silks. Aerial rope is her true aerial passion and she looks forward to sharing new skills with the community.
