Straps Technique

/ with Emma D'Lemma (2026)

In this class we will be reviewing and building on to the foundations of aerial straps! Pushing skills, back flag, spinning, beats, and having fun with creative sequences! Each day will be focused on one topic, and how it will relate to the next day's curriculum. Prerequisites: Students attending should have completed one year of training in any other apparatus, or have basic understanding of c-shapes, beats, and spinning (don't worry, I will happily explain everything in detail too). Needs to be working towards a meathook in the air, and working towards or can complete straight arm inverts.

 

Straps Technique

/ with Yiaki (2026)

Following a proper warm-up and body activation on the floor and the straps, we will begin with static technique. Our focus will be on maintaining good body posture, which allows us healthier movement execution.

Next, we will analyze dynamic technique, exploring both two-arm and one-arm swings and spinning.
We will work on different movements that will help us understand the coordination and timing needed while performing dynamics.

Having prior experience with straps is essential, preferably you are comfortable inverting multiple times with straight arms and are familiar with hooks and the flexicat (skin the cat). Progressions for different movements will be shown, and everyone can go as far as they feel comfortable!

Attendees absolutely must have prior experience with straps. They should be comfortable inverting multiple times with straight arms and be familiar with hooks, the flexicat (skin the cat), and two-arm back flags. Moreover, previous experience with beats and spinning technique is required.
