Footlocks Module 2

This course will provide what we would call progressive footlock skills, that may feature a more complicated wrap, a less supported position, require additional strength or flexibility, more stamina to enter and exit or moves that are more challenging to spot as an instructor.

Course units

Progressive footlock skills are a great way to take your students to the next level. At a basic level, progressive footlocks provide more complex or technical wraps for beginner progression students to work on at a higher level, they provide great strength and conditioning training for lifting inverts through moves such as the Arabesque Invert and Teardrop. Within this course we have also included a selection of double and triple wrap movements that we feel fit well within the Footlocks Module 2 syllabus. These moves are of a similar nature (poses that are high value with straightforward entries and exits) and they are the natural progression from aerial dance footlocks covered in the Foundation Aerial Silks course.

Footlocks Module 2 units:

  1. Introduction to progressive footlock work
  2. Progressive footlock skills
  3. Combinations and choreography
  4. Strength and conditioning drills
