About the Workshop
Top of the Strops (2.5 hrs)
Apparatus: Hoop
Level: Improver/Intermediate
Description: A hoop workshop with Freya Pellie (@pelliefey) giving you new ways to work with
the strop, featuring photoshoot-friendly moves, satisfying transitions, different ways to get up to
and into the strop (goodbye clunky step-in and hello silky smooth rolling leg-ography), and a
drop finale (including a more challenging option of a sneaky unexpected entry) - all combined
into a series of satisfying sequences with choose-your-own-adventure pathway variations.
As well as just generally expanding your hoop vocabulary, strop choreo is a great way to add new
dimensions and height to your hoop act if you don’t have the luxury of counterweighting or a
winch when performing. It can also be incredibly useful for certain show situations where other
performers may be moving on stage below you during your aerial number.
Pre-requisites:
10 second dead hang.
Comfortable in double hox/knee hang.
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.
