♣ 11:00 AM

   Series Julia: Commanding the Stage: Stage Presence (Day 1)
 

In this workshop, we will discuss how to grip and mesmerize your audience the moment you take the stage. We will cover topics such as walking, expression, posture, and seamlessly going from the ground to your apparatus and vice versa. On stage, we sometimes feel small, but at the end of this workshop, you will feel larger than life, mercilessly leaving the audience wanting more.

Bring a short sequence that you’d like to explore. If you’re not comfortable with coming up with your own, I can provide simple combos for silks, rope, and hoop.

PREREQUISITES: 6 months aerial experience

   Sticky Situations with Hanna
 

Whether it’s customizing a costume or attaching a lash, one of the most common backstage questions in performing is, but how do I make it stick? We’re going to dive into all things adhesive in this workshop. You’ll leave with a dose of hands-on experience and some up-close and personal contact with some costumes and accessories I’ve made using the tools and techniques covered.

Prerequisites: None.

♥ 1:00 PM

   Aerial Gives You Wings with Anna P.
 

Since aerial makes you feel like you can fly, why not add a set of wings?

Amaryllis will take you through creating an act or sequence around a large prop. Large props can add major impact to a piece, but it completely changes how we are able to move and fit on our apparatus.

Prerequisites: Minimum 3 months experience on hard apparatus. Able to invert to the top of the hoop (using feet is fine). Comfortable with getting onto apparatus from chest height using a single knee hook.

Register 

   Sculptural Costuming with Hanna

Sometimes we want something a little stiffer than fabric can manage for our costumes: say we need a suit of armor, a pair of horns, an animal head. This workshop will focus on different techniques for making such things, with hands-on playtime included and close encounters with objects I’ve made using the techniques we’re studying.

Prerequisites: None.

♦ 2:45 PM 

   Heels and Steel with Anna P and Casandra
 
This workshop is all about getting comfortable, confident, and creative in the air with your heels on. We’ll spend 90 minutes exploring both trapeze and lyra, finding fresh ways to weave, slide, and flow through the apparatus while embracing the extra flair that heels bring. You’ll get to experiment with how your movement changes, how your lines shift, and how a simple heel clack can add attitude to everything you do.
 

We’ll also work on transitions from the ground into the air, building pathways that feel natural, sensual, and fun. Throughout the workshop, we’ll lean into the playful side of aerial, tapping into our sensuality, discovering new shapes, and letting the heels guide our expression. Whether you’re brand‑new to dancing in heels or already obsessed, this is a chance to explore, experiment, and enjoy the added drama they bring to your aerial practice. Come ready to move, laugh, and make some noise.

Please bring heels (pleasers are preferred but any heel will work if student does not have pleasers).

Prerequisites: Comfortable in heels (specifically Pleasers) comfortable mounting the bar on either lyra or trapeze, comfortable doing a 30 second- 1 minute long sequence in the air (can be a beginner sequence).

Register
   Starting to Sew with Hanna
 

If you have wanted to pick up some sewing basics to customize or make your own costumes, this is the workshop for you! Come dip your toe in and see if you like the water, as we go over how to measure yourself, some basic hand and machine sewing techniques, and how to make basic adjustments to existing costumes for better fit and function. This will be a hands-on workshop, so if you’ve wanted to try using a sewing machine, come have a go at it!

Prerequisites: None.

♠ 4:30 PM

   Hanna Mending & Maintaining
 

With all their sequins, feathers, and fringe, circus costumes can quickly become a pain to mend and clean. In this workshop we’ll talk about methods to repair, de-odor, and otherwise refresh your costumes that minimize stress on the elements that make them so shiny and neat.

Prerequisites: None.

Register
   Learn Veil Magic with Casandra
 

In this workshop, you’ll get a friendly introduction to veil dancing, a beautiful, expressive part of belly dance where a long silk or chiffon veil becomes part of your movement. Dancers use the fabric to create soft, sweeping shapes, dramatic moments, and a touch of mystery!

We’ll explore simple, beginner‑friendly techniques like framing the body, wrapping, spinning, and creating light, airy wings. You’ll get to play with the veil, try out different shapes, and enjoy the satisfying feeling of letting the fabric float and swirl around you.

Come dance, experiment, and have fun with the magic of the veil.

♥ 6:15 PM 

   Not your Festish
   An Intuitive Lyra workshop with Shelby

This workshop is about you—your cravings, grit, and unapologetic style. Through prompts and moldable choreography, you’ll create selfishly seductive movement and liquify your transitions. This is a guided self-reflective practice and small journals will be provided to receive the most out of your time. At the end of this workshop, you should have a foundational understanding on how to create new pathways and build trust while dancing in the air.

Recommended attire: Leg coverage like yoga pants. Skin-to-skin contact with the lyra can be uncomfortable for beginners. Wear what makes YOU feel good.

Please contact @salixflows on IG if you would like to bring your own lyra.

PREREQUISITES: Must have a safe understanding of entering and exiting the hoop. This workshop is close to all-levels; however, I would not recommend this to an intro to lyra student.

   How to Build a Performance Experience beyond Choreography with Yasha
 

This workshop explores how aerial performances are created beyond skills and choreography. Instead of focusing on tricks first, we’ll look at how other key factors work together to create a performance that feels intentional and complete.

This is not a choreography class, and students are not expected to “finish” an act during the workshop. Rather, participants will build a personalized performance map they can continue refining after the workshop.

Prerequisites: None! Come one, come all.

   Improve your Improv with Satya
 

Let’s take a stroll down the dark and scary road of improv. We will discuss many skills that you need in order to improv with the best of ‘em, including being able to anticipate and feel your music and safely move from one place to another, without having to put conscious thought into it at every turn. We will also do some exercises to release inhibitions (IE anxieties) and relax your mind! By the time we are done, the fear of improv should be fading away and you should have some solid skills to take forward to your next performances.

The skill of improv will not only help you with your performances, but I truly believe it can help you deal with the twists and turns of life in a more graceful way.

Prerequisites: An open mind and desire to flow and improv more easily.

♠ 2:15 PM

   Breath of Motion with Sarey
 

Dynamics is the heartbeat of a performance. It is the difference between simply executing a trick and truly moving in the air.

In this intensive 90-minute workshop, we move beyond the “what” of aerial skills to explore the “how.” We will break down the mechanics of speed, power, and movement quality to understand how they shape the energy of a piece. By the end of this session, you will:

    • Master the Mechanics: Dive deeper into how to harness force and momentum to make your transitions feel intentional rather than accidental.

    • Shift the Energy: Discover how a sudden burst of power or a slow, sustained reach can completely change the “breath” of your choreography.

    • Build Character: Understand how to use specific movement qualities to evoke raw emotion and tell a story without saying a word.

Leave the ground behind and find the pulse in your practice.

          PREREQUISITES: A strong understanding of basic swings (including hand beats and other positions), the ability to generate short bursts of dynamic movement, and a solid foundation on your chosen apparatus.

   How to Not Feel Awkward Performing with Yasha: “What the Heck Am I Doing on Stage?”

This interactive workshop focuses on one of the most common performance challenges: feeling awkward on stage. Whether it shows up as uncertainty, rushing, over-thinking, or not knowing what to do with your hands, face, or body, awkwardness often comes from a lack of clear, intentional choices rather than a lack of skill. Through guided exercises and low-pressure movement exploration, students will learn practical tools for entering a performance space and directing attention with clarity. We’ll explore how simple choices around hands, gaze, timing, and orientation can dramatically change how a performance feels both for the performer and the audience. This workshop is not about acting or performing bigger. Instead, it focuses on reducing over-effort, building clarity, and learning how to be present and intentional on stage.

Prerequisites: None! Just an open mind.

   Making Faces with Sarey: Make up tips and tricks for performers
 

There are a ton of things we can do with make up! Need to be a clown? Fish? Glamorous human? No problem! Based on whatever performance setting that is called for, make up can be adjusted. Join Sarey in a step by step workshop full of tips and tricks, as we build a look together!

There are NO prerequisites for this class, but it’s preferred for you to bring your own make up. If you don’t have everything we are using, you can make a list of things you need to buy in the future!

Workshop Weekend with Emma Johnson & Kat Saxon

Workshop Weekend with Emma Johnson & Kat Saxon

Posted on by satarahproductions

Bloom Movement Artistry is excited to welcome Emma Johnson and Kat Saxon for a special weekend of aerial workshops designed to expand your technique, creativity, and movement vocabulary. This series of classes explores dynamic aerial hoop skills, expressive dance trapeze work, and innovative sequencing that will challenge and inspire students at multiple levels.

Whether you’re looking to refine foundational technique, explore new transitions, or dive deeper into creative aerial movement, these workshops offer unique opportunities to train with experienced performers and instructors from the Southeast aerial community.

Workshop Schedule (Please Click Class Titles to Register): 

Forever Flares with Emma

In this 90-minute aerial hoop workshop, students will break down the foundations and mechanics of flares. Starting with the core techniques and fundamental movements, the class will progressively build toward new entrances and variations within the hoop.

Students will explore how controlled momentum and body positioning create efficient and powerful flare sequences.

Prerequisites: Students must be comfortable spinning.

Interlaced: Intermediate Ropes Workshop with Kat

Interlaced is an intermediate to advanced dance trapeze workshop focused on creative sequencing within the ropes. Designed for students who already feel comfortable working off the bar, this workshop explores how the ropes themselves can become an active partner in choreography rather than simply a transition space.

Participants will explore wraps, pathways, and transitions that emphasize momentum, musicality, and spatial awareness. The workshop blends technical instruction with improvisational exploration, encouraging students to develop personalized movement logic and expressive flow while maintaining safe and repeatable technique.

This workshop is ideal for aerialists looking to expand their rope vocabulary and deepen transitions between shapes.

Prerequisites:

  • Be comfortable working independently in the air
  • Have solid dance trapeze fundamentals
  • Safely enter and exit the ropes without instructor spotting
  • Feel confident with inversions and hip hangs
  • Be familiar with rope wraps such as flamenco, crotchet, and reverse grip

Beats and Dynamic Flow with Emma

This 90-minute aerial hoop workshop introduces the foundations of beats and dynamic sequencing on the top bar. Students will learn both frontal and lateral beats and explore how they can be incorporated into flowing aerial combinations.

The workshop focuses on building strength, timing, and coordination through sequences that include rolls, re-grips, and dynamic transitions designed to improve full-body control and fluid movement.

Prerequisites: Students should have a strong and confident long-arm hang.

Splits All Over with Emma

In this 90-minute hoop workshop, Emma shares several of her favorite split shapes and variations on the aerial hoop. Students will explore creative grips and pathways that create unique split positions throughout the apparatus.

These shapes are designed to be accessible for a wide range of students—a full 180° split is not required.

Prerequisites:

  • Have a solid range of mobility and flexibility
  • Be able to confidently invert to the top bar
  • Feel comfortable navigating the full hoop

Catch Waves: Low Dance Trapeze Exploration with Kat

Catch Waves is a creative exploration workshop built around dance trapeze improvisation and contemporary movement. Using a trapeze rigged closer to the ground, students will experiment with blending modern dance influences and aerial technique.

Kat’s coaching style focuses on helping artists develop foundational movement skills that make working low to the ground feel natural and expressive. Students will explore elements such as:

  • Slides
  • Spins
  • Floor-to-air transitions
  • Rolling movements beneath the bar
  • Developing musicality and personal movement style

By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with greater movement intuition and creative freedom, along with new tools to expand their aerial artistry.

Prerequisites:

  • Have at least one year of dance trapeze experience
  • Be comfortable spinning for extended periods
  • Be familiar with flamenco wrap and rolling on the bar in hip hang, back balance, and armpits
  • Feel comfortable rolling on hardwood flooring (knee pads recommended if needed)

Twisted Transitions with Emma

In this 90-minute aerial hoop workshop, Emma will guide students through several of her favorite creative transitions on the hoop. Expect unusual shapes, clever pathways, and transitions that lead to surprising and expressive aerial sequences.

Students will explore how subtle changes in body placement and grip can unlock entirely new ways to move through familiar shapes.

Prerequisites:

  • Invert comfortably
  • Navigate the top of the hoop confidently

This workshop will explore sling drops with a longer base wrap/entry but which have a BIG payoff at the end! Sometimes we’ll be changing direction, sometimes the bottom will drop out, but we’ll always be building up the box and crushing it.
