Individuals, couples and groups of friends!

Participate in our
LIVE CIRCUS SHOW!

Aerial Arts, Best Food, Chill Out Time, & Adventures

This Holiday Aerial Retreat is for aerial students and professionals who want a train-cation retreat to celebrate the holiday season aerial style with others who share the love of movement, play, aerial arts, great food, and fun! 

There will be 1 daily class plus aerial jams, skillshares, and creative rehearsals to put together a show for the end of the week. Private lessons are also available for students to work one on one with teachers.

The gym is available for you to train and play 24 hours a day.  Your down time can be spent eating amazing food, swimming and surfing in the ocean and river, reading in hammocks, and breathing the tropical air.  There will be time to explore local markets and beaches, swim with dolphins, release baby turtles, and a night swim in the bioluminescent waters.  We will finish the week with a live circus show.

About your coaches

Kerri has been performing and teaching acrobatics, dance, and aerial arts for over 25 years. Her life’s work, as an artist and teacher, has been to develop and deepen her study of the body.  She has learned that anything is possible with patience, discipline and a positive attitude. 
Kerri teaches her students how to own their practice. Focusing on fundamental elements of technique, anatomy, and the physics of movement, her students learn how to train. Kerri goes beyond teaching skills and sequences. She teaches how to identify, alter, and create your own skills and sequences, and best of all how to fully embody the movement of each skill in the most satisfying way for the doer and the viewer. Technique, balance, stability, mobility, movement pathways, creativity, 360 degree movement, musicality, originality, intentional movement, elements of surprise and awe, and a deep connection to humanity is what you will get if you work with Kerri.

Kerri’s technical expertise comes from working with students of all ages, shapes, sizes, and challenges.
You can find Kerri’s performance videos here and Circus Fit free online tutorial videos here.  Find Kerri on Instagram @SweetCircusKerri.

What People Are Saying:

Sweet Retreats is a really amazing place! The teaching quality and attentiveness to the needs and goals of each student’s aerial practice is excellent, and will definitely continue to impact and improve my aerial journey going forward. But what makes it really special is the people and the atmosphere of support and inspiration created by both staff and participants

Blue Bell-Bhuiyan 2022

Sweet retreats was an amazing experience! I highly recommend it, whether you are looking for a recharge in your aerial/circus practice, an active vacation with a focus on well being (and fun!), or just time away from your “regular life” to focus on something you love. Kerri and Stu are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to make sure everyone is well fed and taken care of. The quality of instruction is top notch and enriched with theory and an attention to detail that you will be able to incorporate into your practice, regardless of experience level. And the overall experience is a lovely blend of artistic, athletic, communal and vacation vibes.
