HOOP MASTERCLASS // Dynamic Hoop

Service Description

Whether you’re new to dynamics or looking to expand your dynamic vocabulary, refine your technique, and learn new fast-paced combos, this workshop will cater to your level. We’ll work through foundational dynamic movements (e.g., front back beats, bell beats, turns, and single-leg rolls), progress through alternate grips (including mixed grip, elbow, and armpit beats) and dynamic transitions, and build up to dynamic grip switches and release drops. Suggested pre-requisites: a regular aerial practice, 10 second dead hang on hoop/bar, amazon rest on hoop/trapeze. Familiarity with double elbow and armpit hangs (singles not required!) would also be beneficial but is not essential. A multidisciplinary performer with over 10 years’ experience, Freya (Instagram: @pelliefey) specialises in dynamic aerial contortion on hoop, rope, and lollipop. They’ve performed and taught internationally, toured with both contemporary and traditional circus, and their “limb-based brain teasers” and playful style have garnered them a substantial online following. As a coach, Freya seeks to share her movement findings, shapes, and sequences, whilst encouraging students to find their own authentic style within these and develop a sense of ease and comfort on their chosen apparatus.
