🌼✨ JUNE BUG WEEKEND IS HERE! ✨🌼

We’ve been counting down the days, and we are so excited to finally share what our performers have been working so hard on!

Our aerialists have spent weeks learning choreography, refining transitions, building endurance, and putting their hearts into these performances. We couldn’t be more proud of the dedication, courage, and growth we’ve seen from every single one of them.

Join us at The Forge in Ben Wheeler this Friday and Saturday for one of our favorite events of the year!

We can’t wait to see all of our friends, family, students, and supporters out there cheering everyone on. Your support means the world to our performers, especially those taking the stage for the very first time!

Come spend the weekend with us, enjoy some incredible music, and help us celebrate all the hard work these artists have put into making this year’s June Bug unforgettable. 💜

See you at The Forge! 🌼
