These 1 hour workshops are for beginners, intermediate and advanced gymnasts. Workshops focus on improving a particular skill, whether grasping the basics of cartwheels or advancing to handsprings, and giving them the foundations on which to continue improving. With a bit of fun time as well of course. Read below for details on the Cartwheels & Roundoffs, Handstands and Aerials & Handsprings workshops and how to book. We aim for a coach:gymnast ratio on no more than 1:6 in these workshops to allow even more focused learning*.

Cartwheels & Roundoffs

Beginners: Work on the basics of hand placement, turning through the cartwheel and landing on your feet.
Improvers: We will help to improve the height of those cartwheels, straighten those legs and stick those landings. Move on to linking cartwheels, 1 arm cartwheels and roundoffs.
Advanced: Turn your solid cartwheel into a 1 arm cartwheel, dive cartwheel and roundoff. Work on the rebound height out of the roundoff and link it to other moves.
