Static Trapeze - Technique Fundamentals & Imperatives
90 min | $50
Static trapeze has been described as the ballet of the aerial arts world, a fundamental art form at the root of all aerial disciplines and a crucial starting point for anyone looking to delve into the world of aerial arts. Learn the technique and conditioning required to put real power in a pull-over, to do big and beautiful knee beats, fast and smooth Russian rolls. Students must have some trapeze experience, however do not need to be able to mount to participate in this workshop.
Students should come early to warm yourselves up, though Camille will check in on your warm-ups before you get on the trapezes.
