Workshops

SSSling! Let’s get into what makes motion fluid on our hammock hero. Slack, Splits and Shapes will abound in this workshop, as we work through sling choreography.

Prerequisites: Must be able to invert, comfort in basic sling wraps such as catchers, and seatbelt

Live your lyra dreams with a flowy sequence in the hoop! We will learn a sequence, then take some time to add your own personal flair to it. Spinning will be optional but encouraged!

Prerequisites: Lyra 150 and up: generally comfortable mounting the hoop multiple times, moving through seated & standing poses, holding body weight in their hands, spin optional but encouraged.

Ready to add some dynamic flair to your aerial practice? Join Bri for an epic multi-apparatus exploration into all things beats technique! Open to both vertical and bar-based aerialists, we will break down the basics of beat technique and explore different variations and pathways.

Prerequisites: Students should be intermediate or higher in their preferred apparatus and have good form in a long hang on any apparatus, strong shoulder engagement, very comfortable with inversions in the air.

Did you make a New Year’s resolution to finally get your split? Have you been working on leg flexibility for ages, but feel like you're not getting anywhere? Do you feel like your split is sooo close, but you can't quite touch down? Are splits a dream, but you have no idea where to start?

This workshop will give you tools, tricks, and drills to make progress in your splits and leg flexibility, wherever you are on that journey. We'll focus on active flexibility and front splits (i.e., what you probably think of when you think of a split), and we’ll touch on middle splits and straddles if there’s interest from attendees.

Prereqs: You've tried a split before! Otherwise none.

Lyra

The better the technique, the bigger the spin! Let’s lay a solid foundation for fancy spins, including centering both under and in the hoop. We will also explore other styles and shapes with a moderate to fast spin. Bring a way to film yourself - we will have in-workshop video review so you can take breaks and let your body recover. Come hydrated and bring some ginger/ peppermint/ candy along as well!

Prerequisites - Unassisted entry to the hoop and a 10 second long hang from the top bar or under the bar.

In this pop-up, geared towards any fabric or rope student looking to get more out of their hip keys, climb, inversions, and more, we’ll work on building a strong foundation for more advanced aerial skills and getting the most out of our existing fundamentals by solidifying them, and exploring ways to work smarter, and more efficiently in the air. Upper level students who want to shore up their foundations are also welcome!

We will focus on drills and skills for maximum ease in skills like hip keys, inversions and climbing, and look at concepts like body shelves, levers, tension, and more to deepen our understanding of how fabric works.

Prerequisites: To get the most out of class students should be in level 150 or above, and comfortable inverting multiple times from the ground throughout class.
