Improver Rope Technique 
/ with Emma Poole (2024)
This is a sequence based workshop learning tangle-y and flowy choreo and finding ways of adding your own flare to it. No beats here, think more sloth, we are going on a knotty adventure up the rope using interesting wraps to climb, play, and roll.
Pre-requisites: Able to invert in the air. Able to do basic rope moves (catchers, hiplock, footlock).
Skilled Rope Technique
/ with Emma Poole (2024)
Learn a tangley choreo with lots of wraps and twists. No beats here, we are getting tangled and untangled. This class is full of wraps and brain teasing vocab playing with the aesthetic of the rope and how the rope can hold you to give you freedom of movement.
Requirements
Strong rope vocabulary, aerial inverts, and stamina of at least 5 mins in the air.
Advanced Rope Technique
/ with Yiaki (2024)
In this lesson, following a proper warm up and body activation on the apparatus, we will begin with some basic positions and conditioning exercises. Then, we will use beats to approach these positions and taking advantage of the momentum, we will try to create “dynamic combos” on the rope. Furthermore, we will analyze the rolling up technique, static and dynamic. To learn and control it properly we will break it into parts, starting with the roll down before moving on to roll up!
Attendees should comfortably execute multiple inversions in the air and have a previous experience with basic dynamic movements (side/bell beats, beats to inversion)
Group Rope
/ with Emma Poole (2024)
What is group rope? It is a lovely bunch of rope peeps collaborating for 2 weeks to create a glorious rope piece. We will go through an entire creative process over the 2 weeks (must be in the class both weeks) and perform in the showcase on Saturday 27th July as part of Emma Insley Night.
Emma will not be teaching repertoire or tricks, this is more about combining our creative minds from concept to completion. Lots of creative tasks, skill sharing, and lots of play to showcase our skills in a jungle of ropes.
If you have been dreaming of getting the chance to collaborate with other rope artists this is the class for you!
Requirements
Strong rope vocabulary, aerial inverts, and stamina of at least 5 mins in the air.
Note: This is not a technique class, you must do both weeks.
