PRIVATE WORKSHOPS

Partnering and Contact

Experience the transformative benefits of dance lifts and acrobatic partnering, emphasizing strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and body awareness. This class prepares students for partnering safety, focusing on moving with the body as architecture, transforming danger into soft, fluid connections. Influenced by Aikido, Capoeira, and Contact Improvisation, techniques include converting impact to propel circular and spiraling movements. Instructors teach stacking the body and creating “Break-aways,” finding pathways while maintaining awareness. Covering a full range of skills, from basic to advanced tumbling and air awareness we elevate your movement practice with our dynamic approach, enhancing strength and performance.



Aerial Arts & Circus Acrobatics

Welcome to a world of soaring! Center Gravity teaches a series of circus classes for teens and adults:

Aerial Arts - flying and flipping through the air, aerial arts are an excellent way to improve strength and flexibility and have fun while learning challenging physical skills. Instructors will teach basics in hoop, silks, sling, straps, aerial pole, static and dance trapeze.

Circus Acrobatics - using the body as your instrument, students will learn how to coordinate with others to create group and partner balances, shapes, lifts, and throws. Instructors will teach basics in partner acrobatics, hand balancing, porting and flying, with and without cradle and aerial equipment. Other performance practices like stage presence, showmanship, and teamwork are a common side benefit from the professional circus. 

360 Flow and Contemporary Dance

360Flow fosters 360-degree spatial and body awareness, emphasizing transitional movement in dance and tumbling within a three-dimensional system. Jones and Anne-Marie Talmadge, skilled performers with Cirque Du Soleil, infuse athletic dance, acrobatics, and dynamic partnering. This technique, drawing from dance, martial arts, and gymnastics, incorporates inversion, balance, shape, and rhythm, resulting in mastery of gravity's force. Movement exercises and combinations focus on expanding potential, environmental awareness, and overcoming fear and mental blocks.
