Aerial Hoop Immersion
With Eliza Gaston
Want to reenergize your lyra practice? Escape to Vermont for this three-day aerial hoop immersion. This workshop will be jam-packed with lyra theory and technique! We will find new pathways to slither around the hoop, play with dynamic dream skills, and learn spinning sequences with twisty transitions to splitty shapes. During this workshop, we will get to use all the bells and whistles NECCA has to offer: we’ll throw dynamic skills over the pit, orbit/cone on 40’ points, and play with pulley systems for lifts in spins. This workshop is great for those wanting to expand their lyra technique and challenge their hands to 11 hours of hoop!
