🤸How I’d structure your first year of acrobatics, part 1:
Rolling 🌀

In your first year of acrobatics, it’s not only about learning moves. I use that year to teach my students the skills they need to develop their own practice:
One of the essential skills is knowing how to absorb a fall. By practicing different rolls until they become instinctive, we create a kind of built-in safety mechanism. Then I add some chaos with dive rolls, so my students experience that they can roll safely out of a scary situation.
This gives them the confidence to try new things, even if they fail, because they know they can catch themselves. ☺️
