The Cartwheel is a basic gymnastics element that involves transferring weight from feet to hands, to feet again, while executing a half turn.Cartwheels start and finish in Lunge position (October’s Skill of the Month!) and also also pass through Handstand (February’s Skill of the Month!).
Students in our preschool program explore Cartwheels through introductory lateral motion and weight transfers on their hands. You’ll see a lot of jumping side to side and moving the body back and forth while upside down!
Recreational students will work the full Cartwheel as well as its many variations, from 1-handed Cartwheels to Round-offs. They’ll even attempt them on the Balance Beam!
