-      Pre-requisites: strong two hand grip, straddle inversions

-      During this workshop, improver level students will be invited to work on basic beat patterns and will be introduced to bell beats, pike beats, straddle beats, scissor beats and planche beats. Intermediate and advanced level students will explore more challenging beat pathways, such as giant straddle beats, amazon beats, meathook beats, hip-hop beats and various dynamic climbs. Dynamic entries and transitions into S-wrap, hip-lock, front balance and open wraps will also be explored, including letting go of and recatching the rope or silks. The technique will be utilised for creation of dynamic transitions, seamlessly floating from one move to the next!
