Methods of Momentum for Rope & Fabric

With Eleanor Parker

Learn how to use momentum to your advantage and everything you do in the air will look and feel easier!

We’ll break down a variety of beat pathways that can be used as transitions, skill prep, or beautiful movements on their own. Then we’ll dive into some classic dynamic skills such as j-flips, saltos, and twists.
