CONTORTION CONTROL: STRETCHING THE LIMITS** WITH DR. MISTY ROSE AUSTIN
Acrobatic flexibility may be aesthetically advantageous, but instability may put acrobats & pole dancers at risk for injury. In addition to flexibility, safe contortion requires the ability to control the spine & joints dynamically through movement. Learn the difference between flexibility and instability, and find out how to protect the hypermobile body while getting longer & stronger.
Highly recommended for contortionists, aerialists, pole artists, and instructors.
