Advanced Beats
With Ren Carter-Tucker
Take your knowledge of beats to the next level! Using basic beats, we’ll advance your vocabulary with scissor beats, straddle beats, plank beats, and hip hop beats.

About The Coach
Hello! My name is Ren! I have most recently been living and performing in Guam, as the lead soloist performing aerial pole at Karera, a residency cirque-style show. I have also performed as a Chinese pole specialist in the UAE and as a rope soloist at a residency show in Las Vegas.
I’m a graduate of NECCA, where I majored in fabric and minored in Chinese pole. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, I love all things circus arts, and when I’m not doing circus, you can find me crocheting or hiking!
