Internship Aerial Straps

School Cirque Italo Médini a proposed to supervise a Aerial Straps during the second week of the February 2021 vacation. It was a great first for me: to give courses of straps to a group of artists for 5 days, 3 hours a day. About ten artists with very different levels on this discipline (beginners and pro) were able to participate in this internship. The difficulty was in having to adapt a program to meet the needs and objectives of each. Fortunately I was able to build on the skills of the professionals who helped me to accompany the younger ones. It was a real moment of sharing and teamwork.

It was also an intensive internship, with a lot of work done! We started each training with a small joint heating, then to prepare the body well to face these ingrates straps, we made a cardio-type circuit « ab, legs, arms, back », in the form of games, to (try to) stay in the notion of pleasure.

Then, for beginners, we worked the basics, the different positions in the straps (draps, meathook, wiper-glace, skin the cat, ballants, etc.), the different ways to understand this aggression in a fun way by trying to adapt the practice according to the qualities of each.

For professionals, there were both re-training objectives with a solid revision of the bases, but also more specific and technical demands. For the first, I created a paper medium « Training bases Aerial Straps » which was their red thread during the week. Then we worked on some technical elements, passing through education to better understand the paths.

To conclude it was a dense and very rich week, during which we all learned a lot!

Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in participating in a future session of training Aerial Straps.
