AERIAL HOOP FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL DETAILS
Below you will find a description of our current Aerial Hoop levels and instructions on suggested progression.
Suggested Attire: Ankle or crop tight leggings, work out top, bare feet.
BEGINNER AERIAL HOOP
Our Beginner Aerial Hoop curriculum is designed to introduce fundamental skills and guides you through transitions and sequences to provide you the opportunity to move freely within the hoop. You will be introduced to the apparatus, body awareness, poses within the hoop and mounting.
Next Step: Repeat current level until you feel comfortable moving on. The next step is Intermediate Aerial Hoop.
INTERMEDIATE AERIAL HOOP
Intermediate Aerial Hoop focuses on building upon basic poses and transitions as well as introducing new movements. Participants will begin to perform moves with fewer contact points on the hoop and using their feet, elbows and knees to hang from the hoop.
Next Step: Repeat current level until you feel comfortable moving on. The next step is Pre-Advanced Aerial Hoop.
PRE-ADVANCED 1 & 2
AERIAL HOOP
These classes break down the fundamental movement patterns used in advanced level aerial hoop moves. Participants can expect to learn a variety of dynamic movements, splits, inverted poses, and become comfortable working with the spanset. A primary goal in these classes is to focus on conditioning and strength building, as well as how to train and progress through higher level aerial moves safely. It is highly recommended to wear full length form fitting pants, a slim fit shirt and to pack knee and elbow protection (legwarmers & long sleeve shirt) for all classes.
Next Step: Repeat levels until you feel comfortable moving on. The next step is Advanced Aerial Hoop.
ADVANCED AERIAL HOOP
This class is designed for students who are confident with the intermediate and pre-advanced skills, especially those at the top of the hoop. This class is constantly evolving to focus student skill levels on certain aspects of aerial hoop such as rolls, span set work, flexibility or strength based skills. Participates will also be introduced to choreography and assisted to create their own flow.
