Student of the Month

I took the "try it out" trapeze class and then realized that Bumbershoot was a place where a middle aged woman could fulfill a childhood dream and learn circus tricks. Wow!

I love rope! It's solid, you can see and understand the wraps. Silks may be more beautiful but rope is a lot of fun. I would however like to take more silks and trapeze, as each apparatus has it's own challenges, style and charm.

It's fun! I feel like a kid on a playground. I really appreciate and respect the acceptance of people of all ages and abilities. It's a very nurturing environment where everyone is encouraged to stretch their personal boundaries and not to compare themselves with someone else.

I love exploring nature in a variety of ways- hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing rocks and trees, spelunking, orienteering and scuba diving when I get a chance.

Rich and creamy chocolate with a glass of milk. Gotta have the milk.

Doing my first Salto drop on the rope. I was confident that my instructor wouldn't let me try it if I wasn't ready and she knew my rope was wrapped correctly so I wouldn't fall. Still I paused, as my brain questioned my sanity, before taking a deep breath and letting go. I was scared but it was exhilarating!
