Dear friends of TFC,

Partner Acrobatics for Dancers
With Training Society of Vancouver
April 7, 9 & 11 | 10:00AM -11:30AM
@ The Dance Centre | $15
This class will allow participants to combine acrobatics with their dance/movement practice. We’ll start from the ground up, focusing on body alignment, hand grips, conditioning, and technique, while also exploring transitions through meditative movement. You’ll learn progressions and fun tricks for your practice or performances, with options for L basing, standing moves, and proper spotting techniques.
Led by Marissa Wong and Eric McKeethen, the class emphasizes connection and partnership to expand your movement and dynamism. This holistic approach ensures you build a strong foundation and progress safely, all while enjoying the pleasure of dance.
No previous acrobatic experience or partner necessary.

SAVE THE DATE - FLUX: A Monthly Movement Ritual
April 27 | 12:00PM - 3:00PM
@ Beaumont Studios | $20 – $35 (Sliding scale)
Presented by The Falling Company and Higher Education, FLUX is a space for movement, music, and connection—a place to dance freely, without expectations.
Join us on the last Sunday of each month, starting from April. Each session begins with a guided movement exploration, led by Marissa Wong who will introduce different ways to engage with movement. This is followed by an open dance jam with DJ, Paul Sacamano, where you can move as you wish—solo, in partnership, or with the energy of the room.
FLUX is open to all bodies and abilities—no dance experience is required. It’s about exploration, not performance.
Contact us at info@thefallingcompany.com if you face barriers when it comes to exploring and enjoying dance.
Stay tuned for the final event details and registration method!
