SAMPLE PAGES FROM THE AERIAL CIRCUS TRAINING & SAFETY MANUAL
From standing, hold ropes firmly and face forward. Sink into Straddle. Circus Rings.  Photos 2 & 3 : Lean body back in the direction of the straight leg, while holding on to the same rope with both hands. Photo 4: Take one hand off rope and extend arm to style. You can then put that hand back on and take off other hand (not shown). Photo 5: With hand that is extended, hold foot or, if you are flexible enough, touch foot to head as seen above. NOTE TO SPOTTER: In Photos 1 & 2, spotter’s hand is over student’s extended leg. This is a good spotting technique to maintain throughout the entire trick not only to have more contact with student who might be fearful of leaning back, but also as a more cautious approach to spotting which is recommended for beginners. Trapeze Side Lay Back. Spotter spotting student.

Web 08. Flag-Out aka Star. Photo 1: Spotter holds web with some tension so student’s foot can firmly grip web. Many students like to grip the web in between their big toe and sec-ond toe.  Photos 2 & 3:  Student can go directly from Flag into Hand Spin pose. Spanish Web  Web 18. Arabesque aka Front ArabesquePhotos 1 & 2: WIth leg wrapped, position the web across hip of leg that is wrapped. Spotter holds web tight as student leans for-ward, extends back leg and styles with arms. Foot can be flexed (Photo 1) or “sickled’ (Photo 2). Please be advised that it is easier to slide with a sickled foot.  NOTE: Spotter must hold web extra tight as s/he is playing a major role in the security of this trick. Spanish Web
