Starlette C-Shaping on Aerial Silks is one of our favorite ways to have students work on slow star drops. Starlette Drop is a good place to begin the practice of c-shaping down a Star Drop, because the extra friction of the wraps makes it easier to succeed. We teach this slow controlled drop variation once our students are comfortable with dropping a Starlette, and once they’ve worked on C shaping techniques including in Creature Roll and many other ground drills.
This video goes into detail about several different starting positions for C-shaping down the Starlette Drop, and details about how to make it work so that the drop is nice and slow.
We like to teach our students to C-shape down this version of Star Drop because it helps build confidence before taking it to a bigger skill like Double Star.
