All About The Beat – Level 1 – Xochitl Sosa
Trapeze | Beg 2+ Breakdown of beat physics, momentum generation and dynamic movement on trapeze.
Trapeze | Beg 2+ Breakdown of beat physics, momentum generation and dynamic movement on trapeze.
Trapeze | Beg/Int This workshop introduces the fundamentals of partnering on trapeze, including basing, lifting technique, weight sharing, and communication. We will also explore improvisation and tools for developing shared movement language while maintaining individual expression.
Int/Adv Understanding C-shaping starts with learning the foundational technique on the ground, working with our approach to hollow, arch, and ipsilateral movement patterns. These can be different from body to body, and here we take a biomechanical approach, learning how to assess each person’s access to certain ranges of motion and explore how body proportions […]
Trapeze | Int In this workshop we will build on the basics of aerial arts with specifics to trapeze technique and mechanics. Learn how to dance under the bar, in and out of the trapeze, and intro elements on the ropes. We will work on skills that come from knee hangs, front balance, back balance, […]
Dance Trapeze | Int/Adv Transferring skills we generally think of as belonging to vertical apparatus to dance trapeze is a great way to create trap acts with more visual interest and flow. In this workshop, we use a theory to modify vertical skills and techniques such as c-shaping, dynamic entries, and wraps on dance trapeze […]
Trapeze | Adv During this class we will learn a full sequence on the single point trapeze including spins, dynamics, wraps on the ropes, and a drop. Pre-requisites: 12 months of solid practice on single point trapeze, static trapeze, or hoop. 3 consecutive unassisted pull overs, 3 consecutive unassisted straddles, meat hooks side to side, […]
Trapeze | Beg 2+ This workshop explores rolling on the trapeze bar, looking at how the technique differs from rolling on rope and silks, and how we can use it to shift points of contact to create new pathways between familiar trapeze shapes.
