Peter Pan is a classic aerial silks skill that’s also a mini-sequence. This is typically one of the first same side wrapped skills that we teach our aerial silks students, once they’ve learned to straddle up and put their same side wraps on with ease.
If Peter Pan is learned with attention to detail, then it sets a really strong foundation for more advanced aerial silks moves that start from same side wrap (also called Catcher’s Wrap), and that includes skills that rotate sideways through space like Star Drops. It is also a skill that builds strong knee hook strength that intermediate level aerial silk students need for a variety of inverted climbs and wraps.
This video tutorial goes over the key points that we consider most important in Peter Pan, and looks at several different stopping points, shapes to explore, and different exit options in this skill.
