yoga slings

aerial dancing is dance but off the groundand in this class we are learning to dance on the fabrics. aerial silk is an offshoot of a traditionalcirques arts, which started with a trapeze and cirques rope,the corde lisse. aerial silks which we are working on todayis a fairly young field as a performing art,

yoga slings, which i find really exciting because thereis still a lot of things to explore but on the other side it means a lot of explainingto people what it is exactly that you do. so, when you are up in the fabric, you arenot just holding on with your arms or your legs. you are actually sort of tie yourselfinto the fabrics, so that if you wanted to

you could just in some moves just hang. it can have some difficulties learning, thereis a strength element to it that can be a big hurtle for a lot of people, but i wouldn'tsay it is super difficult. definitely fun and rewarding. as a modern dancer you are constrain to howfar you can jump from the floor but it is really nice to be able to spin and turn uphigh. it is cool. i love how aerial dance combines strength,with stretching and movement up in the air. so it is really fun to actually just to hangup side down. i love it. this is probably my favorite part of the week.
