Aerial Rope/StrapsIntensive
Welcome to the second annual aerial rope intensive at Bliss Circus Goa with the talented instructors. This 6 day/7night long course will include both technical and creative aerial rope classes and straps work.
This is an intermediate/advanced Intensive and so we have a couple of pre-requisites required of our students to make sure we are all able to receive the most from our time together.
At least 1 year of steady training in Aerial Rope and have some experience working with straps.
A high level of comfort moving around the rope
Long Arm Straddle Ups
Ability to spend more that 3 minutes continuously on the rope
A basic level of comfort with dynamic movement
A basic level of flexibility (Splits are not required but would be useful)
If you have any questions about the pre-requirements please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.
We encourage those who are coming to communicate via our facebook page to connect before the event, ask questions, and share excitement and goals for our time together. Lets make the most of this opportunity!

Class Descriptions
Rope/Straps Technical Classes
In these classes we will be focusing on technique. Technique is the building blocks with which we can create our our own style and choreography. At the beginning of each class we will focus on rope specific strength, alignment, prehab and conditioning exercises. We will then move on the technique on which the rest of the class will be focused. We will also use aerial straps to prepare us to learn more advanced technical movements of the rope
Creative and Choreography Classes
These classes will focus on the tools we can use to create our own work and choreography. Some of the class will be spent learning choreography creating by our instructors while the other half will focus on creative exercises which help us create our own sequences and acts. This choreography can be put together to create a group piece for the show on the final night if everyone is open to the idea. (Don’t panic, no one has to perform if they don't feel it, there is a lot of ways to contribute without stepping on stage!) The aim of this class is to share with students the tools to create their own work and prepare a group show to perform.
Open Training Sessions
These lessons are an opportunity to work on everything you have learned during the intensive. You are free to revise technique, or use the tools you learned in the creative class to create your own choreograph and work on an act fo the final night. All students will have the opportunity to perform a solo on the final night if they would like to. Or if you are complete tired of hoop you can use this opportunity to train something completely different. Bliss circus can provide covered rope, fabrics and trapezes. If you are thoroughly exhausted then you are welcome to enjoy the sun sand and sea and just take the afternoon off, this session is completely optional!
Then the evening is free to enjoy the sunset, keep training, have dinner at one of the many delicious beachfront restaurants, or dance the night away at some of the local clubs (or get to bed early so your ready to work hard the next day) Whatever your into!
The training space will be available for use around the clock for those who want to work on things outside of class time, although we ask that you remain safe and work in groups please and never doing anything your uncertain of alone!
We are really setting the intention with this event to make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible so please know that we are here for you! To help in any and every way leading up to the event.
We are hosting a show at the end of the intensive, an culmination of all the work and the magic we have created together over the days together. The show is a really special experience, even if you don't decide to get onstage, but to work together to create with a group of amazing talented artists from around the work. See more shots from our show from last year!We use the money from the show to throw a big thank you dinner for everyone who participated in the intensive, including adult beverages, buffet dinner, and a fun after party to close out the week!
