Improver Rope Technique 
/ with Lily Rubin-Miller (2026)
Welcome to the wonderful world of rope! This class is perfect for those who are newer to rope and want to build a strong foundation while refining their technique. You'll learn how to apply this knowledge to create fluid sequences and dynamic movement in your rope practice.
The class will begin with a warm-up to prepare your body, followed by an exploration of foundational dynamic techniques, including bell, pike turn, and straddle beats. We'll then move into learning skills, whether it's a pose or a drop, and conclude by connecting everything together in a smooth, flowing sequence that emphasizes momentum and dynamic transitions.
This class is designed to help you build confidence, improve your technique, and unleash the creative potential of your rope practice!
Prerequisites: Catchers, S-wrap, wheeldowns (these can all be on fabric or rope and don't need to be pretty!!), 15 second dead hang from 2 hands on either fabric or rope.
Rope Choreo
/ with Kate Dunne and Lily Rubin-Miller (2026)
Kate and Lily met at the IADF and have always been jealous not to be able to take one another's classes... so they decided to join forces! Expect lots of playful, dynamic and loopy choreo incorporating some floor to air and shared loves of loop theory!
Pre-requisites; comfortable inversions and wheeldowns, simple beat technique.
Advanced Rope Technique
/ with Yiaki (2026)
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.
Attendees should comfortably execute multiple inversions in the air and have a previous experience with the dynamic technique.
Progressions for different movements will be shown, and everyone can go as far as they feel comfortable!
Rope Dance
/ with Charlotte Bruce and Jake Fairbrother (2026)
This class explores the creative possibilities of floor rope loop theory, inviting you to dance with the rope through looping, throwing, catching, and playful manipulation. Together we’ll investigate how movement and rope can become an integrated dance practice while developing original material.
The class is evenly split between learning choreographed sequences and participating in guided creative tasks designed to help you discover your own unique vocabulary with the rope.
Working in both solo and duet formats, we’ll build, refine, and share material throughout the week, leaving you with a collection of original rope dance ideas and creative tools to continue exploring beyond the workshop.
We welcome all levels with a passion for creativity to this workshop.
Note: This was previously Group Doubles Rope a 2-week class. It's now a 1-week class that you're welcome to repeat, and won't be performing.
If this is your first time in the air, if you don’t know a straddle from a side-pickup, then this is the level for you. All classes are tailored for those who just want to give it a go. These can also be open level classes that adapt to all skill levels.
If you have caught the flying bug but are still very much learning your trade, this is your level. Typically these classes are for those who train in aerial at least two hours per week.
This is for confident and competent aerialists who know their stuff. If you are looking to improve your technique and find your own creative voice in the air, well, you’ve found your level right here. This level might require submission of a video to demonstrate skill.
