She smoothed out her B/E Splits by delaying her hollow a little bit, then crunching her abs to get her hips up a little more, and finally arching her back a little sooner. Here, see for yourself:
Emily made some easy catches & eventually worked the apron to near perfection! Notice the pointed toes & subtle smile...!We tried various tactics to get the willowy Willa to slow down her own hollow w/her swing. In all fairness, she's quickly growing into a beautiful, young & (most significantly) much taller teenager each month! So, it's a tad difficult for her to consistently grasp her flying. Willa threw a nice Pull Over Shoot & 1 nice B/E Straddle Whip before working on her catches.
The very helpful & friendly Daniella worked on her Set Whip for her 1st times before making a few Knee Hang catches!
The agile Kitao S. practiced his Layout a few times before developing his Shooting Star (and the occasional, spontaneous Drive Layout...!):
Take a look at Kitao's B/E Planche catch w/return!
And, the young, beautiful & very talented Maya F. brought her dad to watch her fly in person for the 1st time! She dusted off her B/E Splits, worked on her Turn Around in preparation for remounting the pedestal, & practiced her B/E Bird's Nest:
Then, she threw her B/E Birdie for catches for her 1st times! And, in typical Maya-form, she made a couple of returns, too! Full round trips very soon, Maya!
At the end of our day, newbies Kevin & Diane tried out the flying trapeze for their 1st times while the flyer-formerly-known-as-Amy-W. tried something new! As our Lizzy H. has accomplished, Amy did her 1st Cut/Catch in her catcher's hands (me!)! Twice! Check it out:
We're developing an easier, faster way to register & pay for classes on our little rig in Brooklyn. Once, it's officially up & running, everyone will know, and we'll need you to spread the word!
