CYR WHEEL

Please note, the levels of these classes have changed since the festival launched.

Cyr Wheel – Explorer/Improver

Week 2
12pm – 1.30pm
Space A, Dance Studio – Tutor – Bev Grant

These workshops are designed to make learning the discipline of Cyr wheel easy and fun. Sessions will focus on the core elements of Cyr wheel and include specific preparatory and core strengthening exercises with logical progressions.

Participants will work on coordination, balance and build towards learning manipulations, spins and rocks. For newcomers this will be a great introduction. You should have good body awareness but no prior experience is necessary. Please wear comfortable, close-fitting training clothes.

Shoes should be slim soled plimsolls (or pumps) for working on the wheel – Feiyues are ideal!

Cyr Wheel – Intermediate and up

Week 2
2.30 – 4.00pm
Space A, Dance Studio – Tutor Beverley Grant

For practitioners who have some previous experience of cyr wheel and it will be a fantastic refresher for returning students. We’ll revisit the foundations of manipulating, spinning and rocking before moving on to new material and challenges. These workshops will allow you to expand your existing knowledge base and work with more complex manipulations/variations as well as preparations for waltzing, cartwheels and coins. This session will incorporate some creative tasks and linking some movements into building a sequence.
