Class Descriptions

Aerial Fabric Basics

This aerial fabric basic intensive is designed to build from the ground up. We will get you upside down and flying while building strength and flexibility. As the student progresses throughout the 5 weeks she/he will learn simple poses and tricks, eventually putting these building blocks together into a beautiful and fluid movement of expression.

 

Each 5-week intensive will focus on a specific concentration to guide you through your journey in aerial fabric. All students must be able to successfully complete each of our required concentrations to be able to attend our upper level classes & workshop offerings.

 

It is HIGHLY recommended to take the basic concentrations in chronological order to help students understand what it takes to successfully gain the proper skills to move through an aerial fabric practice with more ease and grace, but it is not required.

Aerial Fabric Basic Concentrations:

1. Hammock, Single Footlock with Double Fabric Progression (Seq. 1, Bow & Arrow, Crescent Moon)

2. Single Footlock with Split Fabric Progression (Rebecca Sequence)

3. Hip Key Progression (Lion-in-a-Tree)

4. Double Foot Locks (Eggbeaters and Cross-back Straddle)

5. Inversions, Balances, and Climbs

Aerial Tricks and Techniques

This class is designed for all students that have successfully completed all the basic concentrations in the aerial fabric basics classes (knot progressions, single foot lock, double foot locks, traditional climb, Russian climb, hip key, cross back straddle, straddles off knot and must be able to remain in the air for at least 5 minutes).

Once you have laid out the groundwork to progress safely with your love for aerials, you are ready for this Aerial Fabric class. This class will focus on technique to understanding the fundamental movements and alignment to completing new tricks. A “trick” typically refers to any movement that isn’t a basic climb, mount, or lock. They are what makes up the choreography of performance and can range from very simple movements to complex drops, spins, and falls. With the focus of practice makes perfect we will build up strength, flexibility, mindset and drill the trick or maneuver until we can all safely and successfully complete it with smooth and fluid movements.

This class will focus on learning proper techniques, alignment, spatial awareness, and muscle engagement to create safe and fluid dynamic movements known as “drops”.
