Heart Split: I consider this one Beg/Int because it asks for solid grip strength and control while you’re supported by one hand. It makes a super cute photo-op shape and there are a couple common hiccups that can make it feel less stable.

It’s technique time! This week we’re focusing on the 💫 Cartwheel Star, a Single Star variation with a serious wow  factor. I consider it intermediate level and up and it can feel intimidating at first, mostly because of the mid-air direction change and the knee switch. This one has been highly requested and it makes sense, it’s a skill that can look a bit floppy if the timing and body position aren’t dialed in yet. The good news is it cleans up beautifully when you build it step by step!...

Hands Free Secretary Drop, a variation that many aerialists find more approachable than the traditional version. What makes it feel safer? This version includes a supportive safety wrap on the leg, instead of relying entirely on grip strength and exact timing to hook the foot. The traditional version is an open drop, this version isn't.
