Team
Nici brings over 12 years of experience in aerial arts and loves sharing her knowledge in an open, relaxed atmosphere. She specializes in aerial hoop, hoop spinning, floorwork, and contortion, and has been teaching for 9 years.
She particularly enjoys creating choreographies that leave space for expression, musicality, and individuality. Her greatest passion is duo work on the hoop, where trust and shared laughter are just as important as clean technique.
At the retreat, she will guide participants to playfully explore new facets of hoop and floor work, while ensuring everyone has an amazing time together.
Arson brings over 6 years of experience in aerial arts and has been teaching for 4 years.
He is at home on nearly every aerial apparatus, with a particular passion for aerial hoop and dance trapeze. His classes focus on powerful powermoves, spinning, and creative work on the spanset with the hoop. A positive, supportive atmosphere encourages students to try new things and grow together.
After many inspiring experiences at retreats and festivals as a participant, he is now excited to share this energy and take you to new heights.
