COURSE DESCRIPTION
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:
- the Coaching module, which covers essential theory and coaching skills
- the Trapeze module, which takes you through the syllabus of moves, combinations and conditioning at beginners level.
If you have completed the Coaching module previously, you will not need to repeat it.
