Fun with ropes!
Jun. 19th, 2018 12:51 pmHadn't done anything on a trapeze for a while. Manchester has at least two aerials studios with classes for beginners.
The Circus House did a mixed aerials class. 2 weeks of Trapeze, 2 weeks of hoop, 2 weeks of silks. I got to the end of the course, and there wasn't really anything else.
So I tried Cloud Aerial arts. I went for Rope because it fit my schedule.
The location is the run down, dilapidated, mugger district of Manchester. Rally quite charming. So I parked the car, walked past the boarded up shops, typed the code for the tough security door, and went up the concrete steps trying to find the place. It wasn't all that clear which floor it was but since the location is "The Skyloft" I correctly guessed it was at the top. And there was so much activity. Seemed to be 3 classes happening at once. And the studio was way smaller than the circus house or Circus Space in Brighton.
I managed a Russian climb. I then did a French climb; which I always find easier. I managed straddle. I sort of managed clothes line. I don't have the body strength to do a one arm hang. I'm sure I'll get there. I had fun!
