Starlette is a variation of a Single Star Drop that we discovered when we were exploring Star Drops and looking at differences between the variations. We’ve always wanted a variation of Single Star that is more comfortable and that’s exactly what Starlette is! Starlette is wrapped differently from a regular Single Star and that difference in the way the skill is wrapped adds support and friction which makes the drop a little more gentle than a traditional Single Star Drop, so it’s a good introduction to the feeling of a star drop and it’s also a nice alternative for anyone who prefers it.
An important pre-requisite skill for this drop is a skill we call Windstar. Visit our Building Blocks for details on that.
When approaching drops it’s really important to understand all aspects of the drop and the videos on this page cover the theory behind the wrap, how to set up the drop including various options for a starting position, how to walk down the drop and wrap it from the ground to understand the supports, how to hold the body position strong throughout the drop, and more including common mistakes to avoid.
This unique variation on a Star Drop is a great tool to have for teaching and also for training and improving star drops of all kinds.
