Upside-Down Spin

Here is the update after taking everyone’s advice from the previous post I made! So I do think my form is better, and I didn’t get as nauseous this time, spotting the floor definitely helped with that. I’m now wondering though, if I’m spinning in the wrong direction? Because I lose my spin so quickly.

Ok, so clearly I am not centered. How TF do you find your center upside down? It has been so hard for me and I know that is one of the reasons I am not spinning fast enough. I also keep getting extremely dizzy and nauseous doing this spin. I am slowly building a tolerance. I can handle about 2ish attempts. On the third is when I really get sick to my stomach, and I get a bad headache and shoulder/neck tension. ANYWAYS YALL. I’m doing this for a show at the end of August so literally any tips and tricks to make this go smoother, faster, look better, and have less nausea would be so great. 🤪🤪

Catchers tips

Looking for any and all tips for improving my tricks that start with a catchers hang. I am forever getting my hand stuck behind my knee and losing my grip before I manage to wrap anything properly. Please help a girl out!

I've been having some difficulties performing specific figures due to "male anatomy." In the studio I attend, there aren't other men practicing to help with these challenges. I would appreciate some tips on how to overcome these problems with setting up the figures, especially when the fabric rests or is pressed against the groin area.

Hi there!

I’ve been training aerial silks for about 2–3 years now and I’m currently looking for new skills to work on. My most recent achievement is a solid front balance, and I’m also comfortable with the meathook.

I’d love to hear your recommendations on what skills or progressions I could focus on next!

Thanks in advance 😊
