POP and ICARIAN GAMES: when you feel the adrenaline coming up over your hair when you realize that something fantastic has happened, that’s an icarian game. This technique resembles the pops (minor brothers of the icarian games) except that after the launch, there is no contact between the base and the flyer. They are usually spectacular to see too.
We will teach several pops and Icarians and also a washing machine that includes an icarian, a pop and a whip … attention you may become addicted to it !!!
WHIPS are dynamic, elegant and harmonic movements of advanced L-base practice! They are very beautiful to look at, stimulating to learn and exciting to perform! A whip is a very precise and fast rotary movement, but we will also teach you how to do it in a slow, fluid and safe way. We assure you that when you are able to do it slowly without using your hands, you have the technique to enjoy the speed !! In order to master a whip the partners have to create and exploit the momentum! A whip is the magical result of being highly synchronized! In this workshop, we will provide you with different exercises and progressions to learn the specific base and flyer technique. Whips require advanced spotting skills, so learning how to be a Ninja spotter will be one of the points we will focus on in this class.
