About this Immersion
In this workshop, Chelsea will share her love obsession with aerial fabric through the exploration of crafty pathways and sequences. Utilizing slack-drags, kick-wraps, hip-hops and fabric theory concepts, we’ll find artful transitions into drops, rotations, interesting wraps, and shapes—featuring fabric challenges called XOXO’s and Hip Key to my Heart. In XOXO’s, we will focus on split-fabric sequences leading to uncommon ways to put on X’s, Infinity (or Finite) Rolls, and more sneaky surprises! Hip Key to My Heart will delve into hip key theory patterns that are sure to unlock your passion for fabric, with optional spinning sequences.
