The climb to Hip Key transition on aerial sling is usually an exciting one for students. They gain a lot of height, and they build one support on top of another. For both of those reasons we take our time introducing this move to our level 1 aerial sling students, and we make sure that before they learn this they’ve already got a solid foundation with Hip Key Basics in the bottom of the sling and with Gazelle pose. Our aerial sling teaching tutorial video covers important teaching and technique tips for climbing from a Back Straddle up into a Hip Key once students have those foundations.
