This progssion (tsuri renzoku waza, 吊り連続技) features a tasuki () type of takatekote (高手小手).

Attach one suspension line each to the front of the tasuki and the 'corset'. Then lift up one leg at a time to achieve perfect perpendicularity.

Congratulations, you can now find work as a magician on a cruise ship!

Proceed to transition into inverted suspension by first bringing the ankles up to the suspension point, then slowly releasing the chest suspension line.

At each point in the progression allow your rope partner time and space to express herself and encourage her to gracefully dance in the air.

As a bonus tie in this workshop, we then do a quick double-feet binder and explore ways to achieve body control.
