How to Spot
Saturday, 8/15 @ 10:00am-1:00pm
$100/5 credits
Aerial Workshop focused on learning how to safely spot your students or training partner during tricks, poses, and transitions.
We will cover how to physically assist a student: how to hold them, where to place your hands, how to position your own body, when to help them pull, when to support their weight, and when to use your spot more as guidance rather than protection.
We will also work on what instructions to give the student—both verbal cues and physical guidance.
Participants in this seminar will practice spotting each other. We won’t limit ourselves to theory; the goal is to bring all these concepts into real, hands‑on practice throughout the class.
Aerial Dynamics
Sunday, 8/16 @ 3:00pm-5:30pm
$100/5 credits
This seminar will center on the technique and execution of dynamics.
Through a variety of drills, we will explore how to use your strength efficiently and develop a clearer understanding of timing while in the air.
Using dynamic skills derived from swings, drops, and transitions, we will then combine these movements into sequences.
Each trick will include different progressions, ranging from simpler to more advanced variations.
Hoop Workshop
Sunday, 8/16 @ 6:00pm-8:00pm
$100/5 credits
We will start from the foundations to learn how to move comfortably and confidently on the hoop, allowing poses, transitions, and other elements to connect smoothly and with ease for the body.
Specific lyra techniques will help us develop the body control needed to achieve fluid, continuous movement on the apparatus.
