Advancing Beat Pathways Workshop 2

DESCRIPTION:

This hour and 45-minute workshop is the 2nd in a 3-part series exploring foundational beat pathways. This workshop will meet students where they are after completing the Fundamental Beat Pathways workshop on 8/23 and/or regular practice of the foundational beats from that workshop (turn pike beats, straddle beats, scissor beats, and Jane Fonda beats). We will take a deep dive into flare pathways and the progressive drills to understand this complex skill. We will explore how to apply the fundamental beats in beat combinations, how to switch between beat pathways as well as learn how to break down larger beats into smaller components for training drills. The 3 workshops in this series are 4 to 6 weeks apart so you will have time to train smaller beat progressions and build the strength needed before attempting longer body beats which lever at the shoulder with more force.  You'll get lots of notes to take with you to reference when training on your own: we recommend training the beat progressions from this workshop at least once a week during Open Studio to prepare for the next workshop on Oct 18th. PREREQUISITES: This 3-workshop series is designed for vertical apparatuses (silks and rope) at an intermediate to advanced level.  Students should have completed the Fundamental Beat Pathways Workshop on 8/23 and/or have regular practice with turn pike beats, straddle beats, scissor beats, Jane Fonda beats. Students should have the ability to invert repeatedly in the air (no tagging) and a solid two-hand straight arm hang for 45 seconds.   WORKSHOP PRICING: Single workshops are $70, or register for all three workshops in the series for $60 each! Other workshops under Classes tab --> Specialty Classes. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR, LISA MARKER: Hello! I am a nerdy lover of rope who enjoys breaking down skills and doing what feels good in my body. I first saw aerial arts in 2013 at the Cary Spring Days festival and instantly fell in love after my first lesson on the silks. In 2021, I got my first rope and have since been fascinated with rolling and momentum skills. I have trained under PJ Perry (wonderful Patreon),  Dr. Jess Allen through her Flourish one-on-one intensive programs,  Gabby B Aerila (another lovely Patreon) and Alex Allen through intensive and online courses. I teach from a 'nerdy' perspective so there will be lots of notes and 'checkpoints,' with a focus on safe progressions -   speaking as someone who started dynamic work in their 40s!
