Half Flamenco Grip is our first introduction to Flamenco Grip, and this grip is used in a variety of our beginner level skills including Beeman Sit, Crucifix Arabesque, Basic Stand Through the Middle, Single Arm Descent, and more.
Half Flamenco Grip is a much easier and gentler version of Flamenco Grip, and in this version the fabric starts behind the back. We teach this to beginners well before ever introducing Flamenco Grip which we teach at a later level. We also call this the “Woe is Me” grip or sometimes the “Antler Grip”. Understanding this grip helps students move with more ease around many double footlock or split fabric skills on aerial silks.
