Aerial Fitness includes all/any of the following: Aerial Hoop, Aerial Silks or Aerial Hammock. These activities have gained tremendous popularity in recent years, merging strength, grace, and artistry in one unique form of exercise. At TRIX DXB we are explaining the levels to challenge and push members’ limits even further. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, there is something for everyone to strive towards and conquer.
We’ll now disclose all levels for you to know which one suits you best.
Pre-Beginners
This level is designed for beginners with no prior experience or specific skills in Aerial Arts. Students will learn the basic techniques and foundations, focusing on building strength, balance and coordination.
Beginners
We are working on the three aerial disciplines together. When you are able to master the following movements on any of the apparatus, you can be moving on to the “Beginners” level. Foot lock, arm wraps for aerial silks, under-the-bar moves and pull over climb for aerial hoop and pull over mount and under-the-hammock moves on aerial hammock are the ones required to be in the Beginner Level. Students will start learning higher moves and working towards inverting. This level helps to develop upper body strength and coordination.
Pre-Intermediates
Once you are able to fully climb on the aerial apparatus (both sides), you are part of the “Pre-Intermediates” level. Climbs on the aerial apparatus require core strength and balance, making this level a significant milestone in any aerialist’s journey. In this level, students will work on inverts and hip holds as well as small drops.
Intermediates
The “Intermediates” level in Aerial Arts is when you are able to aerial invert on both sides with no assistance. The aerial invert showcases advanced strength and control, and mastering it marks a new milestone achievement for any aerialist. Students at this level will start working on more challenging moves on top of the bar (aerial hoop), aerial moves without hands wraps (aerial silks/hammock)
Pre-Advanced
Stepping up the game, the “Pre-Advanced” level is when you aerial invert with straight legs on any of the apparatus. At this level, students will learn different combinations and will start working on deadlifts and higher drops as well as dynamism and fluidity.
Advanced
Finally, we reach the pinnacle, the “Advanced” level. At this stage, students are strong enough to deadlift with no assistance. At this point, we will see strength, flexibility, and power in its purest form. Mastering drops, re-grips, balances and flips are also part of the Aerial Art Advanced level.
Ready?
With the addition of these new levels, the world of aerial acrobatics at TRIX DXB is continuously evolving, challenging athletes and artists to push the boundaries of what is achievable. These levels not only offer structure and goals for aerialists but also provide a sense of accomplishment and progression as you grow and develop your skills.
So, whether you’re just starting your aerial journey or an experienced dancer, the new levels offer exciting challenges and opportunities for growth. Aerial Art is not just a fitness activity; it’s a form of self-expression that empowers individuals to redefine their limits and soar to new heights.
