6:00 – 7:30pm – Spins and Flares with Maia & Squid (Lyra and Straps)
Flares and spinning inversions, centered spins, weird leg shapes– there are so many ways to dance within the spin. Students will learn different types of spins and focus on finding control and center while spinning on lyra or straps. This workshop will explore how to start and maintain your spin from different heights of the apparatus, and we will discuss techniques for minimizing accidental orbits and dizziness.
Prerequisites: Open to all levels, comfortable 20 second two arm hang, No inversion necessary, but helpful.
