The Criss Cross to Drop Knee Mermaid Sequence on Aerial Hoop is a recent favorite in our studio. It’s a nice mix of playful and clever, with just a touch of nerdy complexity. We developed it as a teaching sequence to incorporate a few specific skills, but it can definitely be used as a performative sequence.

We love teaching this sequence because there are transitions that catch students by surprise. They look simple but require a bit of forethought. Students enjoy how the sequence brings them to familiar positions in new ways. It makes the sequence fun without being too tiring.

​This sequence uses a lot of hip mobility, especially in the Mermaid Drop Knee. We make sure students have time to warm up their hips and review the skills in isolation before training the full sequence.
