ATHLETIC 347: Aerial Fabrics 1- Static
If you've ever wanted to run away and join the circus, or at least be strong and flexible, this class is a great place to start! Aerial fabrics is a circus art that combines the acrobatics with the artistry of dance and the exhilaration of height. In this class, students will learn basic climbs, locking techniques and static poses. Emphasis will be placed on building confidence with being off the ground, endurance for short sequences of poses with transitions, and best practices. This class is appropriate for students with no experience. Students who are not completely comfortable with every pose, climb and static move are encouraged take this class repeatedly to gain more confidence and strength before moving on to the drops/dynamic class. The end-of-quarter showcase is optional for recreational students, and required for for-credit students. Additional aerial fabric classes are offered not-for-credit (ie, recreationally) through
