ADVANCED BOA TECHNIQUE
Advanced class for boa moves. So you already know the classical tease, reveal and floss moves, but what about actual tricks? In this class we will work with several tosses, twirl, wrap and manipulations to move the feather snake.
What to bring & wear: Please bring a boa that is at least 2,5 m long. The usual 1,5 m is going to be too short. Easy fix is to buy two cheap boas and sew them together from one end. Wear clothes that allow movement and are snug around your body such as leggings + top. Shoes are optional.
