Course Details
The Spin City Trapeze Beginners Instructor Course will cover the fundamental skills of trapeze, using a trapeze rigged to a single point (also known as dance trapeze). This course will provide a syllabus that will allow you to ensure the safe progression of your students, including skills under the trapeze, poses on the bar, standing skills and a variety of adaptations to make this classic circus apparatus accessible to your students.
This course includes two modules; a Coaching module to cover essential theory and the Trapeze module with the full beginners syllabus. If you’ve already completed the Coaching module, you won’t need to repeat it!
AFAA and NASM members can earn the following Continuing Education Units on completion of this course: AFAA 1.5 CEUs, NASM 1.5 CEUs. CIMSPA members can claim 10 CPD points on completion of this course.
All moves in this course are demonstrated on a single point trapeze. A spreader bar may be used in your rigging if required or preferred.
