The performance is on February 23rd, 5-7 pm. And is not required.
Presenting our seven week session to learn and/or create a short sling performance piece with an option to perform as a solo or duet. OR join in on our first time ever group contortion performance session!
For our aerial sling artists, Cade Holmseth will be leading this session every Tuesday 6:45-7:35 pm and Hayley Saccomano will be leading every Sunday 3-3:50 pm. Choose either session as your main time, but feel free to drop in to either or Cade or Hayley’s class session to make up time if you need to miss a week or two!
This session Dani Winks will ALSO be offering a group contortion piece to join in on. This session will meet Wednesday 6:30-7:20 pm. Description: Come learn a fun, flexibility-based group performance choreography using the skills we’ve been working on building in our all-levels flexibility and contortion classes. The choreography will be tailored to accommodate a variety of levels, but it will aim to showcase partner poses, flexibility tricks and balances, so comfort holding positions like a bridge is helpful. You do not need to have full splits to be able to do the choreo, we’ll have some sneaky alternatives if/when needed!
The session begins the week of January 5th.
The price this time around includes a 1 hour private lesson with the instructor of your choice as well as professional photos of performance should you choose to perform 🙂 but, of course, performance is optional.
If anyone wants to join more than one session – talk to Hayley for a $60 discount on your second session. Current monthly members are also eligible for a $30 discount per session.

Learn the essentials to masterfully create and lead a barre fitness class. This will be a 40 hour training that is not accredited, you will receive a certificate that states you completed the requirements of this training!
Hayley Saccomano will be leading this training. She has led 4 aerial sling teacher trainings at this point with 100% of all trainees who completed requirements found work teaching after Fly Freak training. This will be her first barre teacher training. Hayley has been a barre fanatic for around 5 years now. She has found the therapeutic nature of the work-out to be an exquisite compliment to her yoga and aerial routine. Hayleys training began in 2012 with a 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher training in Berkeley/San Francisco with Yoga to the People. She then journeyed to Mysore, India to deepen her scope. There she received a 300-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training certificate with Yoga Darshanam. While in India, she stayed and studied Ashtanga briefly with Saraswathi Jois and MasterJi. She later journeyed to Mexico to study Power Yoga (40 Hour TT) with The Bad Boy of Yoga, Bryan Kest. In 2015, she trained for 40 hours to be an Aerial Yoga Teacher with Galaxy Lifestyle in San Diego. In 2017, Jackie Gladney of the former Dhama Cycle Yoga invited her to train to become a barre instructor. Hayley is also registered to train with the Booty Barre program in December and will be completing two levels of their training. She has instructed barre at DharmaCycle Yoga, Barre Bliss, and now Fly Freak since 2017 and it has been a sweaty, shaky good time since. #barresohardthatshakecray
