Chair & Chains Workshops

• Chair Workshops

Filthy Choreo (Beginner)

Let’s get absolutely filthy in this beginner-friendly chair choreo! In this workshop we’ll be working on a routine, but focus on how to make the most of pauses in each pose to really ramp up the filthy element. We’ll also look like at how to transition between poses and this will help you understand how to better move around a chair when building choreography.

Pre-Requisites: None! Heels or Socks needed for the workshop however.

Tricks ahoy! (Beginner)

This workshop is all about learning how we can use a chair to do tricks that look absolutely amazing! Tricks will include shoulder balances, basic hand-balances, Frontbalance, Backbalance and inverted positions. By the end of the workshop you’ll have a better understanding of how to stabilise the chair in a way to make amazing shapes.

Pre-Requisites: None! This might be a bit painful on the lower back and hips so bring some layers if needed.

Chair Balances (Intermediate)

This workshop is all about translating handstand theory onto the chair which can make multiple movements a lot more achievable, but fear not there are also balances that will be a challenge. This is great if you enjoy handstands or are curious about handstands but want to try something that can give you loads of nice shapes that are more achievable than free-standing balances.

Pre-Requisites: 5 Press-Ups from Plank Position, Crow Pose for 10 seconds.

• Chains Workshops

Intro to Chains (Beginner)

This workshop is all about equipping you with the knowledge to begin chains as a discipline. We’ll cover how to get into and out of the chains, how to create a basic spin, shapes, safe technique and generally just have a blast of the time! After this workshop you’ll be more confidents in using this apparatus and get a step up in your chains journey.

Pre-Requisites: None! Bring layers if you have a low pain threshold as chains can be painful.

Weird Pathways and Sequences (Intermediate)

This workshop looks are slightly mad shapes that I’ve found on chains inspired by circus and pole, which will help you understand how to manipulate the chains to your desired effect. Expect mini-drops, rolls, wraps and transitions that might make your head spin, but will look absolutely amazing on stage. Great addition if you want to expand your repertoire on chains!

Pre-Requisites: Intermediate experience in pole or any aerial discipline. Understands how to get into the chains unassisted from any entry and happy with basic terminology such as straddle, crochet, Frontbalance and Backbalance.
