Rock and Roll to Catchers Wrap is a fun dynamic transition that is borrowed from trapeze. On trapeze we’ll often use this dynamic entrance to go from a knee hang up to seated on the bar. On aerial sling this dynamic transition works great as a way to quickly get up into a Catchers Wrap, also sometimes called Seated Straddle or Harness Pose. This is something that we teach to our aerial sling students who are already comfortable with Catchers Wrap. In our aerial classes this can often be a quick add on to a class plan, or as aerial teachers we use it as a fun additional challenge for our students who need more.
