Description:
This workshop is focused on using handstands and acrobatics movements to encourage students to play and continue to develop their own body control and awareness.
Learn new skills and movements, learn how to further refine what you can already do, and learn new methods of teaching the skills to others.

The first part of the class will focus on the handstand, which lays the foundation for control and awareness. Many different acrobatic skills build from an understanding of the basic handstand.
The session will cover body preparation, alignment, learning how to fall, how to enter the handstand, and how to develop the handstand balance.

The second part of the class will focus on acrobatics progressions and dynamic movements. This includes the basic foundations of jumping/landing, falling safely, interacting with the floor, rolling, and cartwheels.
Then there will be work on some fun introductory movements and combination that can be learned quickly and performed safely. These skills may include: butterfly kick, macaco, aerial cartwheel, handstand walks, etc.
The content does not favor any one particular style but draws inspiration from gymnastics, martial arts, capoeira, circus, dance, etc.

The goal of the workshop is for students to have fun, learn something new, and gain some concepts to take away into their own practice.
You don’t need to be a gymnast of acrobat to get benefits from and have fun with that style of training.
