Pole Passion presents circus skills in hoops, silks, trapeze, corde lisse, acro balance, doubles hoops and trapeze

Pole Passion presents Astra Beck
TASTER SESSIONS IN AERIAL SKILLS

Saturday 17th March 2012 NEW CLASSES
At: Taylors aerial, hoops, silks and 10 pole studio in Capel Dorking RH5 5HF

For those of you who have tried hoops and silks and now want something a little bit different or for those completely new to it all and want to dive straight in (or up down and around!) Astra will be offering a day of alternative aerial skills. This will include a morning session in corde lisse and trapeze and an afternoon session in doubles. The doubles session will start with acro balance on the floor and then move to doubles hoop.

Corde lisse (rope) is very similar to silks and uses many of the same moves, only it will feel completely different as obviously it is a different piece of equipment.

Trapeze is very similar to hoop, and uses many of the same moves, however there is a whole lot more to experiment with using the ropes of the trapeze.

Time: 11.00am - 1.00pm £50 per single person
Limited spaces to 3 per piece of equipment

Acro balance is the art of two people using each other’s weight to balance and lift each other from the floor. It combines elements of adagio, acrobatics, and hand balancing. A lot of care, coordination and mutual trust is needed in order to do this skill as you will be basing and flying each other - in this session we will start with some trust building exercises and then work on some basic moves.

Doubles hoop is the same as hoop only much more fun as you get to play with a partner at the same time! We will cover some of the basic symmetrical moves as well as moves where you base and fly each other in the air.

Time: 2.00pm - 4.00pm £50 per couple (£25 each)
No limit of places for acro balance / limited spaces of two couples per hoop

If both classes are booked the same day the cost is £90
For the doubles you will need to come with a partner who you are able to work with effectively, ie either (1.) be of similar weight, height and build so you can base and fly with each other; or (2) have one person bigger and stronger who will base with another who is smaller and lighter to fly.

Astra Beck Aerial hoops and Silks tuition

Next class December 11th 2011 at Taylors Retreat Dorking

Astra has been working with Pole Passion and in the circus entertainment industry for the last ten years as an aerialist and circus performer. Specializing in aerial hoop and silks but also skilled at static trapeze, doubles trapeze, rope and cloudswing. She is now keen to pass on her knowledge of the aerial arts to anyone who is interested in learning. She is also a qualified yoga teacher and has discovered a love of teaching during recent years through teaching pole dancing for fun, fitness and confidence.

Due to the success of the sessions Astra will be teaching another 2 hour mixed ability workshop in hoop and silks. These sessions are suitable for complete beginners wanting to try these skills out, for those who have got the aerial bug and want more and also for those old timers who just can’t get enough of it! No previous experience is necessary but I would advise any newcomers that the ability to do an unassisted pull up or an inversion is a requirement as this is an aerial class and we will be needing some basic upper body strength in order to climb and use the equipment.

Hoop and silks are classic pieces of circus aerial equipment. During the session we will learn how to use the equipment safely, a basic vocabulary of moves and positions, along with technique and conditioning exercises, as many tricks as we can fit in and for the more advanced students we will be working on short sequences of moves.

Please wear comfortable training clothing that covers the legs such as leggings, tracksuits, catsuits etc. We will be working in bare feet. Some people find it useful to bring training gloves for doing hoop as they find that their hands become sore.
Benefits: You will develop core strength, particularly in the upper body and stomach regions, flexibility, agility, confidence and a new skill!

Please note that these sessions are challenging so come fully prepared to work hard!
