Some gems recorded during at NECCA, jamming with .aerial . Some good potential and a good fail! I haven't been making time to get on trapeze these days so it was really nice to have a time and a place and a community for it this past weekend.

I had such a great trapeze immersion weekend with this wonderful group of aerialists 🥰. We did all the beats, all the fun dynamic moves, and all the twisty thready windy sequences we could fit in one weekend. I can't wait to do it again next weekend (and assist 's lyra immersion the weekend after that)!

1. Who is coming to my trapeze immersion this weekend or the next? I have all your names but don't know who you all are on IG!
2. OMG I have been wanting to be able to grab the bar from heel hang without climbing up my legs forEVER!
(Shown here: first ever success, first ever success in slow-mo just to really enjoy it, and second ever success to prove the first video wasn't a rewind ;))
I remember working really hard on this in like 2012, but this is like example #63 of how hard work and consistency often don't work for me, and when I'm stuck on a skill, I tend to have more success with taking a break and cross-training. I attribute this sudden new ability to a summer dancing ballet (thank you, ).

My first August trapeze immersion weekend sold out the same day it was announced (!), so we added another weekend, and that means now there are still two spots available for the August 21-22 weekend... Could one of those spots be yours?? Link in bio for all the info. You have just enough time before then to get your hand calluses ready for a full weekend of trapezing!

Today was stickiest, sweatiest trapeze of the summer yet. Add-on sequence with .

Add-on sequence with . It went on much longer but I was on the struggle bus so here's the nicer start 😊.

I hate teaching (and working on ;)) pop to back balance because it's so challenging, so discouraging, so inconsistent for many of us, and does it even look that great in an act full of other cool things that someone with a pop to back balance can probably also do? (There are some people I love watching do it, like , who seems to take flight, but for so many of us we either make it by the skin of our teeth or it's clear we're muscling it instead of riding momentum.)

Sour grapes aside, it sure does feel good to do one, if only because it's something that other trapezists seem to care about. Okay maybe also because there's such a clear y/n as to whether you've succeeded or not.

I think reversing back balance to sitting could be a thing, going from sit to back balance nice and slow? At least a good technical challenge. I'm all about the etudes.

Some hot n sticky summer trapeze from an add-on phrase and I made together 💕
