Drop It Like its Hot - Intermediate Aerial Drops on Silk

Rachel Rubin & Mary Wood

Sunday, 3pm @ The Aviary

This class is for advanced beginners and focuses solely on drops. Prerequisites: Ability to invert, basic climbs and descents, and a tight core! Please dress appropriately for doing drops on silk.

We intend to outline several types of drops that are the building blocks of more complex drops, using catcher's, crossback, and s-wrap. Disclaimer: Teachers may be selective about what drops are appropriate for different skill levels. Please dress appropriately for doing drops on silk.

 

Biography

Mary has been a large inspiration in the Philadelphia aerial community. She has graced us with her strength and ferocity for the last few years as an instructor here at Pex and throughout the northeast. She also practices side show circus arts and is freak bendy.

Rachel took flight for the first time here at Pex four years ago. Ever since she has made it a mission to share this passion and help others find their inner strength. She recently returned from Thailand where she shared circus arts with refugee youth and continues to utilize the gifts of circus as a therapeutic tool. 

The ladies strive to continue to development of the aerial community within Philly!!
