The post Aerial parties! appeared first on aerialskills.

I have been introducing the Lyra to some of my classes, really to give a little light relief from the effort of hauling oneself up and down a silk. Whilst the hoop is more painful in some respects, it is easier to pull up on , and with the basic aerial vocabulary that most of us have now, playing in the hoop is really rather fun and constantly inventive, particularly where socks and extra pants are concerned.

Saturday in Exmouth, had my usual clutch of talented enthusiasts, and I had spent bloody ages working on a transition for Mike, which he had seen a colleague do so I dutifully worked on it, and came up with a result, none to attractive but hey, it was an odd one…and no wonder, seems he had noted the move incorrectly so all my efforts in vain (other then to make them all find a more elegant solution!) Still, I did make Mike suffer with a boat climb challenge

Longing to teach a couple of new drops I have been working on, so running 2 workshops on Dec 6th in Bridport, where there is blessed heating and the means to warm mince pies..

Having never attempted a ‘blog’ or really any form of social media other then a timid Facebook page and my cabaret website which is so outdated it’s embarrassing – I am not entirely sure what to write here so I thought I would just say a word or two about playing…Nothing is more enjoyable then just hanging about, literally. Putting on some overblown 80′s music, ‘Footloose’ or She’s a Maniac’, something marvellously cringeworthy..and just doing what ever I feel like.  Yesterday I was going from crossback to a skinning the cat (whilst in crossback) popping out into some lovely free form flags – oooh I felt like Irene Cara, only slightly older…and then I taught my lovely Monday night intermediate aerial class,  and thanks to far too much muscle flexing competitive conditioning I completely cocked up a backdrop out of the ‘Oh so Lovely’ move, having to lower myself down out of a tangle in front of my class - probably just deserts. This afternoon I started the long road to reminding myself of my hoop skills as I intend to start teaching it later this month…and boy do I have a way to go, my hands were shredded in 40 minutes. Sigh.
