Dynamic Trapeze Technique

Learn to supplement your shapes with amazing dynamic movements. This course is an introduction to the building blocks and technique of dynamic trapeze. We'll cover the progressions of beats and hip circles, go over a few basic drops, and work on breaking down and strengthening certain static positions, such as ankle hang, that can later become dynamic.

Prerequisites are the ability to independently mount the trapeze, dismount with control, invert without help, and have a solid knee hang. Experience with ankle hang and the ability to do a pull-up are not required, but are helpful.

Instructor: Carly Schuna
Carly teaches both German wheel and static trapeze at the Madison Circus Space in Madison, Wisconsin. She received her aerial teacher training from Carrie Heller of the Circus Arts Institute in Atlanta, Georgia and has furthered her personal aerial training with classes in Chicago, San Francisco, London, Montréal, and a month-long full-time training program at École de Cirque de Québec in Québec City. Coming to static trapeze from a background in flying trapeze and wheel, Carly loves practicing and teaching dynamic movements like beats, circles, rolls, twists, and drops.
