Aerial Straps Level 1 8/24/19 from 5:30-7:30pm
This workshop will focus on the fundamental techniques for safe and effective training of aerial straps, though most exercises will greatly increase your power and control on other apparatus. Students will start with a set of exercises designed to prehab and strengthen the shoulders and then cover fundamental skills like: beats, meathook, inverted straddle, nutcracker, croc, support, flag, and side balance. The end of the workshop will focus on 2 and 1-arm spinning using the dynamic technique of flares to invert to different positions. This workshop will be beneficial for beginners on straps as well as aerial artists who work on other apparatus, but want to work on skills like beats/meathooks/reverse meathooks and strength.
Prerequisites: safe inversions of any kind (straddle-up, tuck-up, pike-up) 1-arm hangs with engaged shoulder for 15 seconds, and 20 second wall handstand or 1-minute plank.

We will warm up our shoulders and core using a set of exercises designed to prehabilitate and strengthen the shoulders. Students will cover 1-arm transitions and positions (meathook, inverted straddle, nutcracker), as well as other more dynamic techniques such as flares, twists, rolls, swinging, and tempos. This workshop will be beneficial for aerial artists who work on other apparatus but want to learn movements typically on straps.
