Workshops
Flowing Up and Down on Dance Trapeze w/Caitlin Wallace $60 Purchase required to enroll
This workshop teaches a unique sequence that travels across trapeze “levels'' – under the bar, on the bar, and in the ropes. It includes sneaky transitions between levels, offering tricks for hiding elements like regripping or repositioning body placement. The result will be insight on how to make smooth, controlled level changes so trapeze flows effortlessly.
Prerequisites: Students should be able to pullover to front balance from the ground without a spot. Comfortable in single hip hang and back balance. Advanced workshop requires inverting in the ropes – students should have clean, comfortable rope inverts throughout class.Spinal Twists & Side Bends for Straddles & Y-Scales w/Caitlin Wallace $60 Purchase required to enroll
Fun fact: Did you know sidebending and rotation are coupled motions in the spine? As in, they will always occur together! This flexibility workshop expands on that, offering innovative drills to improve thoracic rotation (twists), as well as deep hip flexibility, and open shoulders in sidebends. Thoracic mobility in general is a key component of upper back bends and shoulder flexibility, but also ensures proper posture and deeper breathing. The culmination of this class will be y-scale (and y-scale-esque) positions, as well as sidebending in straddles. Along the way we will also discuss the application of different exercises to aerial skills like meathooks, c-shapes, bell beats, and more.
Prerequisites: current flexibility or movement practice (aerial, circus, dance, yoga, pole, acro etc).
