Trapeze

Intro and Beginner: Trapeze  

Intro and Beginner level classes are catered for absolute beginner to 1 year of learning. The  student will learn the basics of aerial and core positions below the bar, on the bar and standing. 

Pre-recuisits:  

- 0 experience to some experience  

- 0 knowledge needed  

For my beginner classes you can expect:  

• Detailed explanations of each pose.  
• Safety considerations: how to fall, how to spot, recognising fatigue 
• Specific conditioning sequences to help build strength for the additional levels and current level.  • Specified warm up for the poses taught in class. 

Beginner Flow and Choreography:  

This level class is catered for flow and connection of poses. If the student has learned all of the  beginner syllabus poses, they may then move into short combinations of flow of movement  between the poses. There may also be a choreography aspect, which ties movement together to  music.  

Pre-recuisits:  

- basic understanding of the beginner poses  

- Confidence on the bar and standing positions.  

- Able to get onto the Trapeze unassisted and down safely.  

Intermediate: Trapeze  

Intermediate level is suitable for six months to one year of learning. Within this level I will teach  Intermediate Level poses with detailed explanations. The warm up will be designed around these  poses to help prepare the student for the task. If the student is unaware of the basic or beginner  level poses this class maybe more difficult for them to digest as no detailed explanation of the  basic and beginner poses will be given. 

The class may also follow an alternative theme: I.e: Split poses, Thread through transitions, Spin  transitions ect.

Intermediate Flow and Choreography:  

This level class specifically helps to build the students strength and awareness. Within this class  you will learn combinations of poses mixed from beginner Level to intermediate level. Less  instructions will be given on the poses themselves and more information on how they connect  and flow together.  

The class maybe short flow or choreography. Choreography is a combination of beginner and  intermediate poses connected together with music. The choreography can be between two to  four minutes long. This will help the student to develop the dancing aspect of aerial into their  portfolio, helping to build strength, body awareness and musicality needed for Advanced level  Trapeze.
