The Mermaid to Front Lion Leg Calibration on aerial hoop is one of the more difficult drills we use to explore the idea of using the legs to control the hoop while transitioning. We have a variety of leg calibrations, some are easier, some are harder, but this version is possibly the most valuable for students to master.
One thing that sometimes confuses students, especially if leg control is a new idea, is the steps to do this calibration are more complicated and nuanced than other ways to get between the two shapes. So this isn’t necessarily easier at first, but it is smarter and very valuable for making skills look magical and effortless.
We introduce this calibration as a transition that students should first be able to do in isolation, then we use it in the aerial warm up or conditioning portions of class and have them do sets of multiple reps, finally we have them work on incorporating it into combos or sequences.
