The “straddle up” is one of the most fundamental movements on aerial silks. It is the first step for many exciting wraps and drops, and when done correctly is a thing of beauty in and of itself. Yet, for many aerialists, it is an elusive devil that can bring the most determined to tears. This workshop is dedicated to the “straddle up” and other aerial inversions (the action of going upside down in the air). There are a million different ways straddle up, and, as a result, a million different approaches, and a million mistakes to be made. In this hour and a half will be packed with drills on and off the silks that will enable you to master the inversion.

Prerequisites: A desire to work on your inversion, or a desire to do one for the first time. Please be able to climb the silks to the top and tie a foot lock in the air. Level 1+
