PE 1607: Handstands and Partner Acrobatics
Get upside down in this all-levels class! In this course you'll dive deep into the disciplines of handstands and partner acrobatics. We'll use conditioning, flexibility, and body awareness to open up the pathways to a successful handstand practice. In partner acrobatics, learn to base, fly, build, and play with different shapes drawing from practices of Acroyoga style movements, partner balances, and human pyramids. No experience is necessary to participate, and all skills can be modified for different levels of fitness. Please wear clothing that allows you to go upside down comfortably. This class will take place at Circus Culture, transportation provided.
