Event Details
Moody Street Circus is proud to present Una Mimnagh of NYC (...and the world) in January 23 & 24 weekend seminars of aerial silks, web and ropes. Visit Una's website at Circus Una to learn more about this inspirational, powerful performer, or to watch her in action on video clips. Una has appeared in circuses around the world including our own Cirque Passion.
Una's Moody Street Circus Silks and Ropes Seminars will be open level. Workshop will begin with a warm-up, then Una will introduce/review the basics as needed.
SCHEDULE: Both Saturday and Sunday seminars will be from 10 a.m. - noon, with a break for lunch, then optional practice session from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. (for workshop participants only) to practice what they have learned on their own, with Una standing by to answer questions. Class size is limited to 10 participants.
You will be required to sign a waiver form in order to participate. Once you register, we will email you a pdf of the registration/waiver form. Print it out, read & fill it out, sign it and send it back to Moody Street Circus or you will not be able to participate in the workshop.
Silks, Webs & Rope/Corde Lisse
Aerial Silks, Tissue or Fabric are two long pieces of soft fabric that hang from a single point. Aerial Rope or Corde Lisse is a single soft rope hanging from a single point. Using strength, grace and flexibility, you climb the apparatus and move your body into amazing and beautiful poses and shapes. Drops and slides are an exciting and fun part of learning these circus apparatuses.
What You'll Do in the Seminars
The seminars include a warm up, strength training, conditioning tips, and stretching. You'll learn at your own pace and interest level. Beginners will focus on proper body position, muscle usage, basic positions, and basic balances. More advanced students will learn more difficult skills, choreography and artistry. As your strength and confidence increase, you'll be amazed at what you are capable of doing.
What to Wear
It is important to wear clothing that covers the backs of your knees and under your arms. You will want a shirt that can be tucked in to give your back protection. Long stretch pants or footless tights and a tight-fitting top are suggested. Tighter fitting clothing that gives you full range of motion is best. Shorts are not recommended, and loose clothing may get in the way.

Melina of Daughters of Rhea / Moody Street Circus
Moody Street Circus is the vibrant family-run Waltham, MA-based headquarters of Sacha and Melinda Pavlata's Cirque Passion School of Circus Arts and Melina's Daughters of Rhea Belly Dance Company. We also do tented entertainment circus events with our traveling circus family.
At Moody Street Circus we teach the joy of life through circus arts and belly dance to children, teens and adults of all ages. Heart, humor and inclusive community spirit are at the core of our teaching. We strive to bring out students' full potential, then challenge individuals to work on skills that will elevate their expression up to performance-grade levels.
Moody Street Circus is the place for classes in belly dance, circus arts, and aerial arts; for birthday parties, summer and after-school programs and more for kids and adults. No matter where you are in your life's journey, there is always room for learning new skills and having fun. Moody Street Circus is here for you when you are ready to learn to undulate, ululate or hang upsidedown from a static trapeze.
MSC Directors and teachers Sacha and Melinda (AKA Melina of Daughters of Rhea) share extraordinary family legacies in circus and dance.
Alexandre Sacha Pavlata is a fifth-generation Czech circus artist, master aerialist and world-renown circus arts teacher. He grew up with his traveling circus family in a wooden circus wagon which crisscrossed Europe and North Africa presenting their famous unicycle and trampoline act under big tops all over the globe. From horses to high wire and everything in between, Sacha has since performed nearly every kind of circus act you could imagine, including touring with the legendary Flying Wallendas as an integral part of their breath-taking seven-person pyramid on the high wire.
Sacha's circus heritage goes back 5 generations on both sides. His mother, Hungarian-born Anna Dubsky, came from a long line of Risley Act performers (the acrobatic foot juggling of people), and his father, Czech-born Karl Pavlata, descended from a family of aerialists known for their great physical strength and versatility in the air. More on Sacha extraordinary life and legacy in the circus at www.cirquepassion.com.
Melinda "Melina" Pavlata, Ph.D. (AKA Melina of Daughters of Rhea) is a 2nd generation circus and belly dance artist. Her mother is belly dance pioneer Rhea of Greece, her father is folk musician singer/songwriter Phil Marsh, and her step-mother is Shakespearean actress/juggler/circus artist Cecil MacKinnon. She grew up fully immersed in her parents' international performing lives, performing with them in the Pickle Family Circus and dancing with her mother and sister Piper (Belly Dancer of the Year 2000) on taverna stages in the ancient city of Athens, Greece.
As an adult Melinda 'Melina' has toured around the world as an aerialist, circus artist and belly dancer with Circus Flora, The Wallenda Family Circus, Cirque Rocks, Amazing Grace Circus and currently with her own circus Cirque Passion.
Melina is currently on the faculty of Kripalu where she teaches an annual summertime retreat "Wild Hips, Gypsy Heart: Belly Dance as self-empowerment."
