Pricing

⚠️ When choosing your passes and/or workshops, remember that the festival is four days long, so make sure your body can handle what you’ll be putting it through!

See the FAQs here for some tips to prep for it!

Festival classES: passes & DROP-INS

Festival class passes give you a certain number of credits to book classes. Classes repeat every day, e.g. if you're taking lyra, you'll have the same time slot for lyra each day for the four days. Learn more about classes here.
To reserve your spot and begin booking classes, you first need to pay in full and send through a Proof of Payment.

Individual Class Drop-Ins (bookings now open!)

The festival classes were designed for people to attend all 4 days of classes, as curriculum often builds upon itself. However, we know some of you can't take days off work, so if there are remaining free spots in any of the classes (check availability here), then from 11 Feb, you may book individual drop-in classes, for all classes except Act Creation. Normal prerequisites apply, so if you're a beginner, make sure you're booking into classes that accept beginners!

Here are the costs:

R250 per regular (1hr 15 min) class
R400 per immersion (2 hour) class

TASTER WORKSHOPS (ONCE-OFF)

All workshops are once-off, 1 hour 15 min sessions and can be booked anytime, even last minute on the day-of!
Workshops are paid separately from classes (you can't use your pass for them), and may be paid in cash or via EFT.

Thurs: Workshop 1

WIP "OPEN MIC" Showcase: FREE!

On Saturday, we'll host an aerial/dance/circus "open mic," open to anyone in the community (even those not attending/affiliated with our festival).

Performers are prompted to talk about their creative process and then present a work in progress (WIP). It’s an opportunity for the audience/community to look “under the hood” at how different acts get made. Come with questions and an open mind!

Want to sign up to perform? Just let us know by the morning before (Friday morning)!

Want to watch? Great! The event is open to all & free to attend. No ticket needed.

COVID & CANCELLATION POLICY

IF WE CANCEL

If we (the organizers) cancel the event, we will refund you as much money as possible. However, we will charge a small cancellation fee purely to try to cover costs that we already paid, as well as to compensate the guest instructors and the venue for blocking out time in their calendar. This does not at all compensate us for any time spent organizing the festival etc; it only means we won’t be taking a massive financial hit.

Canceling before 1 Feb: Refund everything minus R700
Canceling 1 Feb to 23 Feb: Refund everything minus R1200

However, since we know it sucks to pay a cancellation fee for a global pandemic none of us can control, we will try to make it up to you by sending you some video lessons of some of the spinning techniques, flow sequences, and act creation prompts we WOULD have taught at the retreat. At least you’ll get something!

IF YOU CANCEL

If you have to cancel due to COVID, you’ll need to send us a positive COVID test. In that case, we will charge you a flat R700 cancellation fee, and then refund you the rest.
