UpSpring Studio: Sentimental Swing (OFF-SITE)
Remember what it was like to swing as a child? Come re-discover those childhood memories with a SWING workshop at Joe's Movement Emporium. With the guidance of professional aerialists (Alana Cole-Faber, Mara Neimanis, and Kirsty Little), you can take a swing on a real trapeze and tell us what the word "swing" means to you. All ages and abilities are welcome, and no prior experience is required. This is a free, drop-in workshop, and there is no need to register.
