Intro to Beats and Hip Hops

Dive in and get dirty with two of rope’s most important fundamentals! In this pop-up we’ll build off our bell beats and get acquainted with other beat variations including scissor beats and pike-turn beats, as well as break down the often brain-melting skill of hip hops. If there’s time we’ll take a look at climbs and pathways that incorporate these skills, and maybe even combine them!

Pre-requisites: Students should understand the concept of, and have learned bell beats in a classroom setting even if they’re not perfect. Students should have some exposure to rope either through a pop-up/workshop or class, and be intermediate+ or have permission from the instructor. Students should be very comfortable inverting cleanly in the air.
