Class description:
You will learn the fundamental concepts and the terminology of contact staff manipulation, and the differences between it and basic staff manipulation. This first step will help you relate to more complex combinations in the future, and be versed in the standard terms the community uses to convey these concepts: Rolls vs wraps, pinch points vs control points, spirals vs propellers, palm spins, lifts and how to ‘just let go’. – The basic tools you have at your disposal when working with contact staff, these will help you to flow into contact from any pinch or control point – Moving on to simple contact weaves, neck, wrist, forearm, arm and shoulder wraps, static rolls (and continuous variations of each). By the end of this class you will have also learned about, and will likely execute: arm spirals, halos, conveyors, fishtails and potentially the ½ steve.
