Aerial Technique
Open to All Levels, All Apparatus, Prerequisites: ability to straddle up off the ground (any form is ok) We’ve all had that moment, where we learn some new ‘tip’ and the lightbulb goes on and it all makes sense AND WORKS!
Fundamental Aerial Technique is as critical for safety as it is for effortless fluidity in the air. In this workshop, 
students will learn a new way to move for optimizing mechanical advantage as well as creating long, beautifully straightened lines in all applications. We will work distally, medially and in isolation to build solid and extensive tool kit for the aerial body.
Through various drills and exercises, students can expect to work on: leg and ankle straightening, proper shoulder engagement, hollow body, chest hinging, optimal movement in the air for straddle ups, beats, tucks, knee hang, hipkeys, windmills and a variety of essential skills as time allows. This is an excellent time for students to bring long standing movement issues and frustrations to be addressed and diagnosed.
Flashy Skills (Fabric and Rope)
Level: Intermediate
We’ve all seen it… That routine that looks so showstopping but seems so simple we can’t help but think… I can do that. And, you can.
In this workshop we will learn how to add some flash without breaking the bank. Not every jaw dropping skill has to be terrifying, impossibly painful or require some super human strength. We will explore some really accessible skills that will add some extra sparkle to your routine.
Students can expect to work on: simple but surprising drops, flips, unexpected set ups for standardized skills and showy poses.
Flashy Skills (Trap and Lyra)
Level: Intermediate, Prerequisites: ability to do one arm hang with a stable shoulder and core, ability to do pull up to sit on bar with or without a beat, experience with beats is recommended but not required
