Also happening in the spring of 2010: My husband Jeff and I have been training at Xelia’s Aerial Arts studio in Minneapolis.\u00a0 For the past 5 months we have trained in the circus arts of body tumbling, trapeze, and silks (tissu).\u00a0 We will be performing at the end of May, both on silks.<\/p>\n
