We had a blast this year! Please check back later for 2027 dates and more info for next year.
This is a participant-driven event for aerialists with an established practice on aerial rope! We’ve got 40 foot ceilings, a FOAM PIT, and mini workshops and jams with the best community. Join us for 4 days of ROPE in beautiful Vermont!
The NECCA Rope Meeting is a creative space for rope artists from all over the world to meet, share, connect, learn, and reflect. We provide the space and the community while you bring your excitement and the skills you want to practice. The fun builds from there in an open training format!
NECCA Rope Meeting is participant-driven. We like to emphasize this aspect of the NECCA Rope Meeting. You create the vibe! While we of course provide the space, organize official workshops, provide snacks and coffee… the skill shares and jams during open training are all started by YOU! If you like something, show it off to your friends. Want to see more creative exploration? Announce a skill share on that topic during the day!
We’ve got some awesome workshops lined up for the weekend! Sign up today and save your spot before they are filled.
