Inverted Tuck is the first inversion that we teach out of the fabric knot. Balancing the body from a strong foundation of grip, shoulder, and core strength is vitally important for aerialists as they progress. Inverted Tuck is a fundamental aerial shape that teaches students how to be efficient, strong, and balanced while inverted in the air.
When we teach this skill we’re focused on a strong entry, an efficient hold, and a strong exit. Our cueing is focused on helping aerialists learn that the ceiling is where their support is, not the floor, so there should always be a feeling of pulling up away from the ground, especially while entering and exiting inverted skills.
Mastering Inverted Tuck sets a strong foundation for Straddle Ups and it’s well worth putting some time into making it stronger.
