Hi. This sequence is fun. Thanks!! Is chairography required as part of our December submission?

I started working on the December challenge today, and I’m having some trouble with jump rope jazz: creating enough space between my body and the poles to allow the fabric to pass freely. It keeps getting stuck, lol. And if I lean back too much I then feel like I’ll fall backwards. Here’s my jump rope jazz progress so far: https://www.silksstars.com/community/mollyc/media/3087/

Thanks for your help!

Hi there 🙂 I keep getting the silks tails pinned between the front of my shoulders/pecks and the poles (I can get them up over my shoulders, but they can’t slide down my front because I end up leaning forward against the poles, despite my best intentions). Any tips for getting the tails past my armpits and down by my lap? It seems like leaning back a bit would help, but I’m struggling to get my body to do that while doing the jump rope part.

Hi! I hope my question is still on time for the q&a… I noticed that I tend to lose some height everytime during the butterfly wings part… I attach a small clip… I think I am
missing something in the rotation preceding the butterfly wings… maybe I need to pull the silks more downwards? Thanks!

Ow thanks! A cotton-ish type tshirt did the trick for me 🙂

This month I submit early since my Christmas holidays are starting soon and I wont have access to a rigging point for the next 30 days.
I wish you all Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy entry into the New Year.
Peace and love, Yvan

PD… as usual a link to my submission in case you are interested

Hi all! I got too busy to film November but love it now, and also here is my attempt at December….. perhaps my last challenge on a high ish rig before sailing to NZ! So thanks for the inspiration and I will do mini rig challenges when weather allows!

Hi there! Here is my first day of working on the (super fun!) December challenge: https://www.silksstars.com/community/tguthrie/media/3086/

Based on the other posts in this thread it seems like it’s a common problem (glad I’m not alone), but I’ve been having trouble with getting the jump rope be all one smooth motion/drop, it keeps getting stuck and then I end up awkwardly sliding the rest of the way. Do you have any tips for fixing that? I’m also trying to work on making that an overall bigger/more dramatic moment in the sequence. Thanks!!

Hi – I know this months ground based option is the chair-ography but is it possible to do a previous ground based option this month eg the pilates from november and submit that to get the stars? I’m able to do most of the pilates class now with modifications post surgery but not quite up to chair-ography! No worries if not – thought I’d ask. Thanks, Gillian
