Momentum Aerial is thrilled to welcome back Agnes Roux for another fantastic workshop!

The workshop will focus on burlesque and cabaret style choreography in heels. Character shoes work well for this style of dance. This course will feature work in and around a chair (provided). For this reason, advance registration is required. Choreography will be set to Lady Marmalade from the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack.

Want to improve your waist rolls OR your back balance OR your static switches on straps?

Students will move through a series of mobility exercises, proprioceptive and active flexibility drills that isolate and strengthen potential weak points in your C. Students will start on the floor, move to sling, and then finish on straps and rope for waist rolls, back balances, and switch prep!

Students must be level 2a or higher to take this workshop.

Instructor Bio:
Aaron Koz is a traveling movement and circus coach previously based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He began his teaching career teaching parkour when he was 18. He started at Circus Warehouse’s intensive program, and has studied under different coaches in SF, Montreal, and Mexico. His circus teaching career began in San Francisco, and since then he has taught nationally and internationally. He draws from his academic background in neuroscience and psychology to augment his work as an instructor. He believes that being a teacher means forever reaching for better ways to teach so more recently he has collaborated heavily with physical therapists to help augment and structure his teaching offerings.
During 2018, Aaron will continue working with physical therapists who have experience working with gymnasts, circus artists, and other high level athletes to further add to his understanding and knowledge of biomechanics, movement prep, and injury prevention.

This workshop will cover a variety of fun, dynamic, and mentally scary skills on a variety of apparatus (straps, rope, trapeze….) partially dependent on participant interest. A grab bag of party tricks with scaled and spotted progressions for catch and release movements, beats, and more. Get ready to eat mat, make gains, and be safely afraid.

Learn fundamental techniques for safe and effective training of aerial straps that will improve your power and control across all apparatuses. Straps are fun. Students warm up using a set of exercises designed to pre-habilitate and strengthen the shoulders, then cover fundamental static positions on straps (meathook, inverted straddle, nutcracker, croc, support, flag, and side balance). Straps are fun. The end of the workshop will focus on 2 and 1-arm spinning using the dynamic technique of flares to invert to different positions. I swear straps are fun.
This workshop will be beneficial for aerial artists who want to improve their spinning technique, meathooks/reverse-meathooks, roll-ups, and other skills on any apparatus. No straps experience required.
