Intro to Aerial Straps / Aerial Loops Workshop

This workshop is an introduction to aerial straps (also called aerial loops), a strength-based circus apparatus that focuses on control, conditioning, and dynamic movement in the air. Straps are great for building upper body strength, core stability, and endurance, and are an excellent way to train skills that carry over to silks, hoop, rope, and other aerial apparatuses.

In this workshop, students will work on foundational positions, basic skills, and conditioning drills designed to improve pulling strength, shoulder stability, and body control. Straps are especially useful for athletes who want to develop dynamics, power, and strong technique, and this workshop will include conditioning progressions along with skill work.
