Dance Trapeze

Tried a new thing. Dance trapeze. It felt a bit like if lyra and hammock had a baby. I love anything that spins!

Trapeze, part deux

Took my second class. This is an interesting apparatus. But I don't love it. It's like a weird lyra. And when I'm waiting for my turn up on it, I'm wistfully gazing over at the lyra section, wishing I could be over there. I think I'll just stick to my lyra classes and some silks for conditioning.

So...lyra class last night was FULL! I've never seen that happen. It's January. There are resolutioners about at nearly every gym. But I was all set to do some kind of aerials. Should I go to lyra practice again, two days in a row? Should I go to silks class? Oh wait, I've been wanting to try trapeze. I think the universe is telling me it's a good day to try.

The teacher says this is the scariest move. She teaches it on the first class and then makes it part of the warmup, to diminish the fear. Smart. But it is a little scary. I refused to let go with both hands.


I tried ball. I couldn't flex my feet to get under, so I had similar awkwardness to ball on lyra. Check that dismount, though. I bring my feet to the outside of the bar and hold that tuck for a moment.
