Wondering about the folks who got TAG Started???

Members of the organizing committee have been working hard since last summer (really!) to get TAG going! Let's give a round of applause to the TAG Organizing Committee without whom TAG would not have been possible!! ❤️

Winnie Hsia is the owner of Sky Candy in Austin, TX which she opened in June of 2010 Winnie primarily teaches sling, silks, trapeze, bungee, and flexibility. "Having started aerial arts in with zero background in dance or gymnastics, Winnie understands the difficulty of being a true beginner. In early 2009, after a frustrating seven weeks of being unable to climb a silk, Winnie approached the apparatus and found herself able to ascend! The magic of that moment has never left her. "

As an early TAG participant she has been instrumental in getting TAG off the ground! Much thanks Winnie!! ❤️

Fun Fact! Winnie actually came up with the name for TAG! 😍😀

🔥 **POLE PEOPLE + HARD APPARATUS AERIALISTS, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU.** 🔥

If your happy place involves **pole, lyra, trapeze, flying pole, invented apparatus, or basically anything solid, spinny, and mildly intimidating** 😈🎪, come play with **Jessica Rousseau** at the **Texas Aerial Gathering!**

📅 **SATURDAY, AUGUST 22**
⏰ **1:30–2:45 PM**

This workshop takes aerial pole beyond collecting cool static shapes and dives into making them **FLOW**.

✨ Blending strength, technique & artistry
