Awesome! I’m so glad it was clear and helpful. I appreciate you sharing feedback

It’s one of my favorites for sure!

Awesome! Let me know how it goes

I’d love to know what part of the tutorial you are referencing. Is it possible you missed part of the wrap? Please make sure you are always training under the guidance of a professional, especially if you are just starting out. Students that have done star drop a handful of times can still wrap incorrectly if it isn’t in their body memory yet. It’s important to have a spot while learning drops. Safe training!

It’s an essential one! My pleasure!

I’m so glad you found it helpful! There are many tutorials on my page if you are looking for more inspo! Happy Silking!

I just tried it and it played well for me. Perhaps a loading issue on your end? Hope it works for you soon!

mi scuso, non parlo italiano, ma sembra che tu abbia detto qualcosa sul fatto di perdere il punto di riferimento quando si va in giro. Assicurati di iniziare nella posizione corretta e di rotolare nel modo corretto. Può essere facile confondersi nella posa iniziale, rovinando il resto del movimento.

Yay! This is so awesome to hear! Thank you ☺️ I’m so glad it helped you. How long have you been practicing silks?

Thank you for your feedback! The sound quality varies from video to video, and I know it’s a little echoing in some! For the 52 tutorial card deck I recently made called The Flight Deck, I opted for voice overs to make the audio instructions very clear and easy to hear!

What do you find to be the most challenging part of getting into thigh hitch?

Oh yes! That was is some serious oblique strength! And the lower the torso is compared to the hips, it can seem more challenging. Thanks for giving it a go and sharing your experience!

Yay!!! I’m so glad you got a deck! You’re going to love it!! This is my fav comment ever hahaha!! 🫶🙏🫶

@alyssaLTanner Your deck is on the way!

Aw thank you!! It is available for international purchase now! 👏 I can’t remember if you said you were in the UK

Hey! Birthday Twins!! Seems like we are kindred spirits! I’m going to be offering a Labor Day promo soon 😃

That’s great! I have another video on some moves from the knot you can check out in the library ☺️

Yep! Sometimes in android, the settings need to be adjusted. I have apple and my husband has a galaxy and he just went into his settings to do something about QR code sensitivity and then it worked easy peezy!

@@aerialesteem oh thats great thank you!

That’s awesome! Work those straddle inverts in the knot and leg lifts and you’ll get it in no time

Hahaha! Yes! At least at first. The first scary part of the silks popping off the hip bones when you fold forward. If you keep tension on the fabrics and feel that tightness as you straddle, it will give you a feel of greater control, compared to having too much slack on the silks and reaching lower which feels more like a free fall

@@aerialesteem oh ok! Its just really scary going forward at first and i have to hold onto the ground lmao 🤣

What do you mean hold onto the ground? You definitely want to be a couple of climbs up because this drop does lose a bit of height. As you are learning it, be sure to have a spot who will make sure your legs bend to the outside because if they go to the inside, it can turn into an ankle drop and you would need to start higher than how tall you are. So if you have very low silks, wait to try this one until you have access to more height, a good crash mat and a spot. Keep me posted!

@@aerialesteemi used to have a huge mental block with this and yes i was inside and did one climb up lol i can now do it out side without holding onto the ground😅😂 and four climbs up!❤

@@aerialesteemalso sorry i didnt see this before!😅😢❤

Do you mean in the beginning? When initially leaving the ground to kick the legs to the side? In the air, we can't technically jump, though it is helpful to really think about swinging the legs to the side to get them nice and high and have the fabric come to rest between the thighs. With lots of strength and control, you can certainly lift off the ground by simply pulling up and engaging the core and obliques to lift the legs to the side and do more of a "deadlift" into hip key. The other 3 variations demonstrated also require no jumping. (from the ground, from the climb, and the invert variety) Focusing on control and breaking down each piece will go a long way in mastering your hip key! Thanks so much for watching!

Which variation are you working on? Windmill?

I'm so glad! Thank you for your feedback 😊

Thanks so much for watching!

oh lo llamas por un nombre diferente?

@@aerialesteem sip

Oh yay!! I’m so glad it was helpful!

Awesome!! I’m so glad!

Thanks for watching!

Hi Hazel! Getting the wrap initially can be a little tricky but become much easier with practice. You can alternate legs which a lot of people find easier. That means when one is scooping backwards, the other is in the front lifting upwards, like how an egg beater works. This way your legs are less likely to collide with each other. Typically, a bent arm hold is an easier position for wrapping since you have more mobility in your lower half. It’s important to scoop the silks by circling your leg from the outside to inside and once you catch the fabric, lift your leg up high- almost to 90 degrees from your hip, so that you can sweep the leg backwards to then swing it around and catch the silk a second time without losing your first fabric. Then you bring your ankles together at the bottom, squeezing your heels together to hold the tension until you can transfer the tension to holding the silks in your hands. I hope this helps!

@@aerialesteem OHHHHHH I get it thanks❤️😊🫰🏼

Yay, I’m so glad!

@@aerialesteem ☺️

Thank you for the feedback! I will add in slow mo in the future. What part are you specifically having trouble around? Perhaps I can help answer a question for you here!

That’s awesome! Practice makes progress! I also learn new things each time I train and find ways to keep refining.

Go for three. Depending on how big your climbs are you could get away with two. If you have a small waist/hip you will need less height than someone with wider hips as that is the length of your drop.

Hello! I don’t have a tutorial for that particular split, but the best tutorial that will get you 2/3rds the way there is the arabesque to thigh hitch split video. This demos on a single pole, so just reference the arabesque to invert portion, but instead of having both feet in footlocks, just have one foot in the footlock and the other pole free. Have the free pole in your opposite armpit when starting, just like Rebekah. Once you get inverted, you will bring that free pole and wrap it over your ankle to then pull out for the straddle split and then just re-hook! I hope that helps 💖

Oh that’s amazing! Yay!! Bravo 👏

@@aerialesteem thank you I’m really proud of my self

How long have you been doing aerial? Do you train at a gym and take classes or are you self taught on a rig at home?

@@aerialesteemsorry i found this so late😢❤i am self taught but i have gone to one class and will go back one day but my anxiety is so bad i had to stop going from that class i learnt alot of good stuff like good form how to unwrap from an s wrap stuff like that❤

One day, when you go back to a class, I’ll bet you will be an inspiration to those just starting out! I have a student with anxiety and she opts for private lessons which I totally understand is not within a lot of peoples budgets- though it could be option maybe for a special occasion like your birthday? Just a thought! 🫶

I love that smooth entry! I have some students who learned it that way before I was teaching them and it’s super fun and fluid and looks really pro when I see it! Yes, this is a great stepping stone to build up to that!

Awesome! How long have you been training in silks?

@@aerialesteem I've been doing hammock for about a year and a half now, hoop for two months, and silks for half a year.

Oh that awesome! Getting the aerial variety pack! Thanks for visiting my channel!

This can be a little confusing- you need to make sure the fabric is crossing itself at the top of the loop- then you reach to the back side of the loop and pull the tail through to the same side of the crossed fabric- otherwise it just undoes the wrap and doesn’t lock.

Thank you so much! Fan to fan- her music is so fun to dance to! 🫶✨💖

Yes! It is my variation on a butterfly slack drop!

🫶🙏🥰 Many thanks!!
