Like dance, theatrical swordplay is both complex in structure and beautiful in execution. The timing must be precise and the form flawless all while being executed with effortless flair.
Training in this class will improve your posture, balance, eye-hand coordination and isometric strength. You will memorize complex sequences and time your actions with a partner all while continuously recalling a litany of movements, attacks, parries and evasions. It goes without saying that all of this also requires a tremendous amount of mental focus.
The Art of The Swashbuckler theatrical fencing class is a full mind-body experience suitable for all ages. Did I mention you get to play with swords? We will use swords made from pool noodles.
What to bring:
- Wear flexible workout attire and non-marking shoes (sneakers or jazz shoes are ideal).

Important to know:
