This is a step by step tutorial on how to do a different (at least to me) Crossback Straddle Entrance on the Aerial Silks. In all my years of training around NYC there is only 1 teacher that has ever taught this to me so hopefully it's new to you too! I would title this an advanced beginner sequence. You must have solid foot locks to be able to do this. As always when learning something new on the silks please practice close to the ground and with the proper safety equipment. #aerialsilks #aerialist #circuseverydamnday

My name is Laurie Bloom and I am ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified in both Group Fitness and Personal Training and also have a 200 hour Yoga Certification from Yoga Renew. I toured the world as a dancer when I was younger and now I train Aerial Silks and Contortion as a 43 year old adult. My mantra is: It's Never Too Late! And while it can be harder to learn new skills and train your body to do certain things when you're older, I've seen amazing transformations from people of all ages.
