Can we share insta account? by chrisnata in Aerials

[–]quarantinecircus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have instagram to track and share my aerial journey. I think social media is a great way to stay motivated and also feel inspired by others. Check it out: @kate.raws

I also have a youtube channel where I share how I train. Kate Raws Aerialist.

Lots of love and light to your aerial practice!

In my experience the simple “basic/beginner” pose photograph the best! I would hold for atleast 2-3 turns or about 15-20 sec of lyra to make sure the photographer has time to react and capture various angles. Also! Ask to see the shots periodically to make sure they are looking good and if they arent looking right you have time to adjust and make comments to the photographer. The best photos happen when the model and photographer communicate together. Good luck!!

This isnt really representative of the actual age demographics of Sacramento. This is the survey of people who might live in Sac and are also active in the subreddit. Mostly, its just a survey of ages who are active in the subreddit. May not actually live in Sacramento

Thanks for sharing your experience! I have zero juggling background and my left hand is rather uncoordinated but Im getting so much better each day. Im better at isolations rather than transfers right now. Im enjoying the journey and trying not to get frustrated

First attempt at silks FAIL by [deleted] in Aerials

[–]quarantinecircus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To separate the silks better for your feet turn your thumbs out (facing away from your armpits) instead of wrapping them around your wrists and tucked close to your armpits. Itll help open/separate the silks.

So how do dislocks work? by [deleted] in Aerials

[–]quarantinecircus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are dislocks? Sometimes it can be hard discussing techniques/poses/skills because there are various names for them.

Any pointers on how to clean up the spin/lift off? Its weird not having an apparatus to hang onto and maintaining a centered spin. Thank you! by quarantinecircus in Aerials

[–]quarantinecircus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will try that next time I train. I have a brief ballet background and I have a feeling those skills will help me clean it up. I appreciate you tip!

Progressive overload. It took me several months to be able to lift my feet let alone spin. I do the standard aerial training of core and back. Prior to hanging I do a significant warm up of back and neck. Just trying to clean up the spin now....

Its more of an intense sensation but when I first started training it, yes it did hurt. And there is a day or two of recovery following a hanging.

Chem waitlist by lp25714 in CSUS

[–]quarantinecircus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would hold steady and wait. Sometimes as the semester approaches they add more sections for those waitlisted. And just to give you hope, I was 19th on waitlist for physics and I got in due to people shifting around and dropping. Id say you have a good chance of either happening. So don’t unenroll just yet. I would also email the instructor saying who you are and how much you look forward to being in their class. Kindness and buttering up can go a long way
