This Friday! August 28th!
Works in Progress R***e!
7-9pm, FREE

Works In Progress is a night for circus artists to present unpolished demos in a low-pressure, come-as-you-are, encouraging environment. No fancy lights, no fancy sound system, no stage. Imperfection is not only welcomed, but celebrated.

Come hang out and watch your friends do some stuff.

Today is the LAST DAY to register for fall classes before a $10 late fee is applied!

That means that tomorrow is the day we begin cutting under-enrolled classes. Don't let your favorite class get the axe! Register today!

Lyra Workshops with Artoor Voskanian!

Early Bird Pricing ends 8/26!

Advanced Magic of Transitions
Fri, Sept 25, 7:30pm
The magic of transitions is limitless. When you master your transitions, you can combine them in an infinite number of ways to keep your aerial practice dynamic and exciting.

We’ll dig into rolls, threads, and more unconventional ways to move in and around the hoop, refining the technical details that make transitions look effortless and open up new creative combinations. Students can expect to expand their transition vocabulary with nuanced, versatile skills that keep their practice fresh and push their artistry forward.

Prereq: Recommended for New Moon students approved for lyra levels 2b, 2c, and 3
(2b students can expect the material to be manageable, but challenging)

Magic of Transitions for Beg/Int
Sat, Sept 26th, 3:30pm
The magic of transitions is limitless. Once you build a solid foundation of transitions, you can combine them in countless ways to keep your aerial practice dynamic and exciting.

We’ll work on rolls, threads, and other approachable ways to move in and around the hoop, building the vocabulary you need to link skills smoothly and with confidence. Students can expect to walk away with versatile transitions they can start combining right away to keep their practice fresh.

Prereq: Recommended for New Moon lyra students approved for levels 1b, 2a, and 2b

NEW CLASS STARTING IN SEPT!

Aerial Partnering Beginning
Taught by Duo Vertical Axis (Nick Perry & Amanda Thornton)

This class is for aerialists who are looking to explore their practice in a new way! You will learn how to work with different partners through various sequences and drills. This class is open to aerialists who are in level 2B or higher and does not require a partner to sign up. During the session, everyone will work with each other to develop their skill as a base and/or flier. This class has a strong focus on developing strength and stamina in the air. Additionally students must show proficiency in pullovers off the ground on trapeze and cross back straddle in silks.

This weekend!

Phinneywood Art Walk
Fri 8/14, 6-9pm
Sat 8/15, 12-5pm

Every year businesses around Phinney and Greenwood host an artist and open their doors to the community.

This year, we're hosting TWO artists!

Brittany Drew is an aerialist, illustrator and all-around visual artist.

Vincenza Standridge is a New Moon Coach, performer, and jeweler.

Check out their art and hang out during Art Walk!

Friday, August 28th is our next Works In Progress R***e, a night for circus artists to present unpolished demos in a low-pressure, come-as-you-are, encouraging environment. Imperfection is not only welcomed, but celebrated!

• Do you have a new skill from class you’re excited about? We want to see it!

• Are you new to performing, and curious about doing circus in front of an audience? Let us be your first audience!

• Maybe you have only a section of an act in development that you want to share. We want to see that unfinished work-in-progress!

Works in Progress is happening on Friday, August 28th from 7:00-9:00pm in the Front Room. This is an entirely FREE event, whether you do a demo, or only watch. Guests are welcome (18+). From 6:30-7pm, the Loft is available for warm-ups. Demos will begin at 7pm, and wrap no later than 9pm.

Speaking of demos, they need to be three minutes or less, as there is limited space. Below is a link to the demo sign up sheet. If you don’t care about music, you can leave that blank. If you’re demoing a skill or two, and don’t know how much time you need, give your best estimate.

Wanna try aerial?

Let's do it!

New Moon offers a series of adult introductory-level drop-in classes open to anyone 18 years and over who wants to try out an aerial class. We call them the ABCs: Aerial Basics Classes. Our ABCs are designed for students with no aerial experience. There are no fitness or strength requirements to take these classes – we all start at the beginning!

These classes are structured for drop-in registration - try one class with no commitment! Everyone learns at their own pace and students progress to the next level when they, individually, are ready.
