Hand to hand involves a lot more than just doing a handstand in someone else’s hands. As a circus discipline, hand to hand acts usually have a porter (base) and flyer working together to execute moves of strength, balance, elevation, flexibility and dance. There are two types of hand to hand: static and dynamic. Static hand to hand focuses on balance, whereas dynamic hand to hand makes full use of a performance space by tossing the flyer through acrobatic transitions. During this workshop we will be training and refining both static and dynamic hand to hand.
Prerequisites:
Must sign up with a dedicated partner
Flyer: 1 minute handstand against wall
Supine extended foot to hand, one minute hold
Comfortable two high (squats and can walk and stop at will and with control)
Standing foot to hand (low), 30 sec hold without walking
Standing hand to hand (low), 10 sec hold without walking
Inlocate to two high
