ABOUT
THE AERIAL MOVEMENT
The Aerial Movement® is a new systematic approach for aerial training that in- cludes theory, practice, and a unique methodology that combines biomechan- ics, programmed training, technique, conditioning, and preparatory exercises. Focused on the progression, development and execution of dynamic, explosive, and slow motion movements in aerial acrobatics and aerial calisthenics, this program was created as the result of a detailed movement analysis. Through this analysis, every movement was broken down to its basic components, like the “links” that form a long “chain”. The aim of the program is to work gradually and methodically in order to feel and understand the key movements in aerial acrobatics and aerial calisthenics. (https:/www.theaerialmovement.com)
Considering that a deep understanding of the basic components of each move- ment increases our body vocabulary and potential, favoring the execution of the subsequence movements and expanding our artistic creativity possibilities in an optimal, precise and safe way, the interest arises in making circus artists, aerial acrobats or calisthenics enthusiasts, professional or amateurs, understand the importance of not focusing on the “final trick” but on the fact that any move- ment requires an evolutionary physical process for its subsequent execution in a safe way, avoiding any possible injuries (within the risk entailed by our discipline), stagnation or results opposite to those desired, helping us attain our goals by developing a strong aerial acrobatics and aerial calisthenics technique, as well as acquiring a deep understanding of what is happening with our bodies when executing each skill.
