Are you comfortable inverting on silks but mystified by the dynamic, swinging world of aerial rope? Or do you want to review the basics of beats in a technique-focused environment?
This workshop is designed for aerialists who are new to (or rusty with) using aerial momentum intentionally in their movement. We’ll cover the foundational mechanics of beats, swivels, and direction changes, and learn the basics of how to harness momentum for efficient, expressive movement in the air. You’ll get comfortable generating power from to swing, explore timing and rhythm, and begin translating dynamic concepts into your own aerial vocabulary. Perfect for those who want to cross-train, deepen their understanding of technique, or just feel more confident bringing a bit of momentum into their static work.
Prerequisites: Safely climb to the top and down; at least one ball rocker; working on inversions; 30 seconds hang from hands.
