Acro Mel: Dislocks Workshop (Silks & Straps)
with Acro Mel

Dislocks?! Not quite sure about this skill? Take a full workshop to breakdown all the progressions and key movement patterns that make this skill happen. When done correctly, dislocks do not strain or stretch the shoulders. A common misconception is that flexible shoulders are required - not true! Starting from the ground working on the body angle and shoulder rotation, as well as swings and shoulder strength, we progress slowly to allow students to adjust to the movement pattern in order to complete the full skill. Advanced students can progress to multiple dislocks and free dislocks (no hand locks - silks only). 

Prerequisites: students should have a comfortable long arm (straight arm) inversion and be familiar with swings and beats.

Mel was born and raised in Canada and has trained extensively in aerial acrobatics, partner acrobatics, pole dance, yoga, dance, gymnastics, and general fitness. Having trained and performed worldwide, Mel is now primarily based in the Middle East where she teaches and performs, and is dedicated to building a growing acrobatic community.

As an instructor Mel aims to create a comfortable and engaging environment that allows students to learn about movement and their bodies in a healthy and happy way.
