Aerial Harness Dancing - Basic Rope & Bungee Technique
with Alayna Stroud
|
Saturday June 2nd, 2-4:30pm
$55 We will focus on harness safety and learning basic rope and harness techniques. Working close to the ground as well as higher in the air and exploring the range of motion both can offer, we'll be using the air and the ground as our dance partners.
We will also delve into the dynamics of the bungees, bouncing to our hearts content solo and with grounded partners. We will learn basic technique and standard vocabulary as well as give you time to explore and improvise. This is an amazing core workout, so we will fully warm up at the beginning of class and cool down at the end to help you walk rather than bounce home. Please wear multiple snug layers around your hips and waist for your comfort. Light snacks and water are great for keeping your energy up. |
