The hip key is an important foundational skill for aerialists as it is a frequently used support. Because it can be a challenging skill to master, we break it down into its simpler components from standing on the ground. This way our students can begin to understand their supports and the pathways in which they need to move their bodies to successfully achieve the final position.
This class plan is for beginner students who are new to hip key support. This class plan might not take up an entire class, so it can be combined with a plan to introduce students to other beginner level skills as well.
