circus bungee

what is BUNGEE?

Bungee is a stunning aerial art form that allows you to defy gravity & experience weightlessness. Students manipulate the tension provided by the bungee cords against the floor to create beautiful, floating, and flowing movements in the air.

 

Each participant will be suited up in their own bungee harness at the start of class, and alternate in & out of their bungee point. Bungee lends itself to beautiful sequencing & dance-like movement,  but don’t let its beauty fool you — you’re in for a uniquely intense cardio workout!  

 

All levels are welcome!
