In this aerial chains workshop our chains are rigged as two separate loops connecting to a single point, creating “double loops” and opening up many choreographic possibilities. Students will work on double loop shapes and transitions to connect skills smoothly. We work through multiple short sequences, then put them all together for our final aerial chains dance.  All choreography includes modifications and more advanced variations to expand and accommodate each individual student. We focus on the unique properties of chains and how to adjust and modify shapes from softer apparatus onto chains. 

Students should have some aerial experience and be able to comfortably get into a back straddle from the ground in a loop/sling. Chains cause bruises, tiny pinches (chain bites), and can also poke/rip clothing.  Please wear layers and avoid any easily bent metal bits on clothing.
