UpSwing Aerial dance is proud to have played a small role in helping Natta and her newly formed company The Tea Dancers become an established, professional company. Since the formation of The Tea Dancers, Natta's classes have moved to 8th Street Studios (across the hall) and although we continue to support Natta and her endeavors through our mutual love of each other's art forms, her company and classes have become a separate entity from Studio 12 and UpSwing Aerial dance.

Master class with Terry Sendgraff PDF Print E-mail

Seize the Moment Master Class with Terry Sendgraff

TBA...Terry is retired and teaches less and less. We will let you know when she decided to do a workshop.

In 1995, Terry Sendgraff retired from her long career in aerial dance. Terry encouraged Cherie Carson to buy her business and carry on the aerial dance tradition...thus began Studio 12 flys. Occasionally, Terry comes out of retirement to teach a master class. Check back here from time to time for updates or join our mailing list by contacting cherie at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Terry Sendgraff is a visionary choreographer, performing artist, and master teacher. She is a noted pioneer of Aerial Dance and the creator of Motivity, her innovative dance creation and performance style. Her classes thoughtfully directed with a warm-up and review of skills on the single-point, low flying Motivity trapezes. The focus then shifts to scored and open solo, duet and group improvisations on a variety of trapezes.
