FlyCo Foundations, FlyCo Continuum, and Interim Descriptions

FlyCo now has options! While assessing group needs and natural program dynamics, it has become clear that some folks would appreciate some flexibility with programming. This has led to an idea to create two shorter programs that have the ability to be extended into one long-term that is closer to the original FlyCo 10-month program length.

FlyCo Foundations is a 14-week session in the late fall/winter that focuses on building strength, flexibility and skills across various apparatuses while gaining a deeper understanding of putting together a group act. This program term culminates in the creation of one group act that will be performed in A-WOL’s Winter Gala. This is a program designed to boost your training habits and get you connected with a group in creative ways.

FlyCo Continuum picks back up in spring/summer for a 20-week session that focuses on progressed foundations that lean into smaller group acts and eventual solo creation. In order to make the most out of the Continuum program, members must participate in the Foundations session and the interim, or they must audition to demonstrate readiness to work at a higher level of training and performance. With more opportunities to perform, the Continuum focuses on strong technique, stage presence, and act creation. The program culminates in AWOL’s Open Air Show and the Capstone Solo Soiree.

Between FlyCo Foundations and FlyCo Continuum, there is an Independent FlyCo Studies session for folks that want to participate in a longer program and have the opportunity to maintain their training habits through a 6-week interim session. Students can have access to open gym training, discounted private lesson bundles, and discounted AWOL class series enrollment of their choosing. Experienced members may also have Pro-Train Membership access, with approval required. This is an opportunity for students to start digging into their solo act idea for the summer.
