🌼✨ JUNE BUG WEEKEND IS HERE! ✨🌼
We’ve been counting down the days, and we are so excited to finally share what our performers have been working so hard on!
Our aerialists have spent weeks learning choreography, refining transitions, building endurance, and putting their hearts into these performances. We couldn’t be more proud of the dedication, courage, and growth we’ve seen from every single one of them.
Join us at The Forge in Ben Wheeler this Friday and Saturday for one of our favorite events of the year!

Thursday’s Lineup ✨
6pm – Skills Lab
We’re dialing in on how your body moves inside the movement — the little accents, pathways, and moments of intention that turn a sequence into something expressive instead of just a series of poses.
7:15pm – Lyra 1
Tonight’s top bar combo brings in fresh transitions and new variations on shapes you already know. Tonight it’s about expanding what’s possible with familiar moves and discovering new ways to flow between them!
