About this Immersion
Join us for a two-day rope immersion to round out the year and enter 2023 feeling strong. In this workshop for high intermediate rope artists, we will cover two main areas: Dynamics and C Shaping. Learn new beat pathways or strengthen your basics as we work towards semi and full release moves like J flips, pirouettes, and 360s. Prepare to defy gravity and learn tools to roll up and down the rope with as many different C shaping drills as we can fit into your brain. And to round it all off, get ready to build strength and a more nuanced understanding of your body in the air as we condition for rope-specific strength! With 40 foot ceilings and a foam pit, what better way to end your 2022?!
