Vertical sling basics

With lots of creativity, technique, fun and safety, you will learn to dance at height. After an extensive warm-up to get your whole body strong and flexible, we move on to the vertical dance. Beginners are familiarized with various climbing techniques and first figures.

Prerequisite is enjoyment of movement, no previous knowledge necessary.

Clothing: Cotton leggings, short and long sleeve shirt. In the winter months we recommend long training clothes for before and after the course.

Caro Wuttke

Even as a child, Caro wanted to be a tightrope walker and popcorn seller in the circus. She only rediscovered her love of the circus in a roundabout way as an adult. During her cultural studies, she slipped into the circus world and began to train intensively. She then trained as a contemporary circus artist at the “Cirko Vertigo” and “Flic” circus schools in Italy. Caro now lives in Zurich and works as a freelance artist and aerial arts trainer. Caro loves to share her technical knowledge as well as her enthusiasm and motivation in the classroom.

Eva Baggenstos

Eva Baggenstos from Zurich discovered her passion for aerial acrobatics in 2010. Since then, she has attended various intensive courses, circus festivals and workshops in Switzerland and abroad to continuously develop her skills.
She has performed in various theater productions (e.g. Stein! Spektakel, Baden; Deep Emotions Happiness, Bern) and street festivals (e.g. Gauklerfestival Adelboden, Badenfahrt 2017) and presented her performances at various other events (corporate events, parties, trade fairs).
Eva particularly enjoys passing on her knowledge and skills to others. She has been teaching beginners and advanced aerial ring and vertical dance since 2012.
