This winter LAVA is offering a handful of short workshops giving you an opportunity to explore your strength and creativity in new ways, in shorter segments, and giving LAVA a chance to try out some new offerings. Take one workshop or take them all. Here is a look at the first workshop with LAVA performer and teacher, Allison Schnur:

LAVA Acrobatics & Partnering for YOUR Family
Bring your mom, son, friend, date, neighbor, or anyone you’d like to our family acrobatics class! All are welcome between ages 7 and 97. This is a time to enjoy going upside down, rolling, and working together in a LAVA class. Please bring a partner (or 2 or 3).

Cost for 2-class workshop: $40/person, $75/pair

Thank you to all who came out for our performances of Atlas at Dixon Place earlier this month. Our run at Dixon Place proved to be a fulfilling culmination of a very productive year. Thank you for being with us whether it was in Tazmania, Michigan, New Mexico or at one of our two shows in NYC.
