"A choice of twelve seminars on the theory of large formation skydiving"
Seminar programme Current seminar list

The Skydive Choreography seminar programme provided by Caroline Hughes has been developed over a number of years. 

It draws on expertise from all over the world - pulling a wealth of information together into a highly digestible format. Seminars are delivered in a logical format using visual aids wherever possible.

Seminars can be scheduled within a big way camp, run during periods of bad weather or simply touched upon during debriefs. They are written in such a way that they need not follow a specific order - making the programme easy to tailor for any experience level.
