Swing Aerials – Disc 1 and 2
They – Daniel and Tiffany - present the moves against a white background with good lighting and no distractions; they stress safety; and they take their time. They take their time beginning with warm-up exercises and basic prep - and then move into each move carefully discussing how the fundamentals don’t – and shouldn’t change – and give plenty of time to both the lead and follow’s work in each move.
Disc one starts with the Frog Jump and builds to more complex moves off the technique they cover in this first move. Along the way, they might have said more about beginning the moves on a padded floor, or, on grass… Besides having a “spotter” handy for safety and practice, and, going slow, it’s a good idea to have a soft landing place for the first several dozen, or, hundred times, you’ll do these moves…
Disc two starts much the same as disc one - with a discussion of warming up, etc. - but don’t do these discs out of order since the basics are better covered in disc 1 and disc 2 starts with “The Slow Aerial” where the follow spends much more time fully supported by the lead than in the earlier, disc 1, moves. It may sound like the “easy way” for the follow to learn aerials – like he’ll do all the work – but you really need to know what you should be doing so he/you can do aerials correctly, and safely, and more than once….
