Tips to Enhance Your Experience:

– Bring comfortable clothes to move in, layers for warmth/padding and a water/refillable water bottle.
– Suggested Clothing: Bike unitards, leotards, high waisted pants or shorts, or long shirts. These items assist the harness to slide, rather than pull at your skin when rotations are made in the harness.
– Limit the amount of coffee or other acidic foods you take in right before the event as it could affect your stomach when you go upside down.

Bandaloop’s Education program serves movers of all ages, helping people re-imagine what dance can be. We offer decades of experience in site-reactive, off the ground performance making – skillfully mixing the logistical, technical and transcendent aspects of vertical art. 

Please note, as per the promoter the event will happen on April 26, 2020 and not October 6, 2019 as previously stated. The details for April 2020 will be submitted by the promoter as the event gets closer.
