BeAKid
150 Level (Beginner)
This level is for students who are able to climb the fabrics and perform foot locks either on the ground or from a climb. Lyra/trapeze students should be comfortable with knee hangs, sitting-based poses, and inverting from the ground without the instructor’s assistance, but with the aid of jumping or their feet if necessary. Students in this level have either completed level 100 at ATA, or have had basic instruction elsewhere, and have the basic body strength necessary for aerial arts. 150-level classes are for learning more complex poses, learning to invert the fabric, and learning ‘core’ principles of aerial work.
