Chrysalis Aerial Movement

Mondays

5:00pm Fit Flight
Expect to work/werk out with the weights/balls/bands/silk! Accessible for those with little silk experience (no inversions/tricks)

6:15pm Ballet Play

Half ballet/modern technique, half aerial sling; ballet translates VERY WELL into the silk! No dance experience required, but you should feel comfortable with the following moves: inverting without instruction in rope wrap, getting up into floating straddle, holding an L-sit at least 5 seconds. These prerequisites are here for your safety; inversions are not taught at this level as it’s expected you know them.

5:00pm Flexibility Flight
Build flexibility AND mobility in this hour flow class with a focus each week (eg outer hips, upper back, making space in the body,ect). Class begins with floor time, moves into functional patterning with the sling, and an inversion offered toward the end with savasana. This is your hour of movement research! No tricks but it is required that you can invert independently.

6:15pm Play

The most advanced class offered at Chrysalis - many students take at least a year if not two or three to build up to this level. Expect a short warmup outside the sling, a long warmup in the sling that oscillates between sling choreography and mobility/stretching designed to warm you up physically and prepare you neurologically for the final trick at the end. Crash mats are required in this class.
