Front Arabesque is a beautiful skill that many of our students learn in their first class. It involves a strong arched body position, and it can be done from a footlock as shown in this video, or from standing on a fabric knot.
Learning to keep the body strong and engaged in an arched body shape is an important skill in aerial and Front Arabesque can be used to start training it simply and safely. This skill is part of a sequence we typically teach to new students right away, that also includes Back Arabesque and Standing Side Lean. With this sequence students learn what it feels like to go forwards, backwards, and sideways from a footlock on aerial silks.
