Lief and Icky are back on June 25 with a suspension level class!
Learning a suspension sequence is a wonderful way to advance your rope suspensions skills. This advanced suspension sequence created by Lief takes a shape and turns it on it’s head. It’s a beautiful, tortuous sequence that uses a chest harness, a booty basket, and a calf binder to start face up and invert face down with variations to continue on and create even more shapes.
In this class we will teach you how we tie our booty basket and calf binder patterns. Then, we will demo the sequence and provide instruction on how to achieve the transitions. Finally, everyone will get to try out to sequence themselves with assistance from Lief and Icky!
Kind of Class: hands on, taught on a ring
Skill Level: Advanced
