Esh Circus Arts: Progressions to Overhead Lifts

Join Liliana and Rafael on this special workshop focusing on how we use dynamic movements to journey into overhead lifts! We will do simple versions of some dance lifts/tricks and show how they can be utilized as a tool to work toward overhead progressions!

Pre-registration IS required! You do not need to have overhead lift exprience to try this class!

Prerequisites:

Students signing up for this workshop should have some experience in partner acrobatics at Esh or elsewhere, or experience with air steps/dance lifts.  Bases must be able to safely do five squats while holding 100 pounds. All students must be able to hold a plank position with core engaged for at least 30 seconds; be comfortable doing a cartwheel and landing safely on their feet (it's ok if the cartwheel form isn't perfect); and be able to kick up to a handstand against a wall or with a spotter and return to standing.
