About the Workshop
Dynamic Hoop: Potatoes, Pendulums, and Explosions: (2.5 hours)
Apparatus: Hoop
Level: Intermediate
Perhaps you’ve done a few bits of beats here and there but don’t know what to do
with them? Well, HELLO! Here’s a bunch of connections that will open up a whole world of
dynamic play, helping you fall in love with dynamics and increasing the likelihood of you actually
using dynamics in your next act. In this workshop with Freya Pellie (@pelliefey), we’ll refine your
beat technique and expand your dynamic vocabulary, focusing on dynamic transitions and
working through turns, beats from alternate grips (e.g., mixed grip, elbows, and armpits),
dynamic grip switches, switch- and release-based drops (or the preps for these), connecting
drops to beats, and ways of finding momentum as you exit familiar static poses. You’ll leave
with some fast-paced combos as well as an increased understanding of mechanics to help you
create your own custom dynamic combos going forward.
For those with more prior dynamic experience, extensions and side quests will be available.
Pre-requisites:
(1) 10 second dead hang.
(2) Ability to get back into the hoop after hanging from the top of the hoop.
(3) Amazon.
(4) Some prior experience of front-back beats and bell beats (on any apparatus).
(5) A regular aerial practice (i.e., shoulders which are very used to hanging!).
Additional ‘useful but not essential’ pre-requisites:
(1) Some prior experience of armpit and elbow hangs (doubles; singles not required) .
(2) Single-leg roll (aka single skinner roll aka monkey roll aka single hox roll etc etc...)
If you have any questions about pre-requisites, individual suitability, or access needs, please
feel free to contact Freya directly via Instagram (@pelliefey) or email (fpellie@outlook.com).
Freya recognises that standardised pre-requisites may not be appropriate for all bodies and is
always happy to discuss these on an individual basis.
