Balances, Tuck Rolls & Controlling our Movements

We worked this week on balancing on one leg and walking in a straight line as if we were on a balance beam. It was tricky to keep our foot firmly on the floor while we lifted our other leg but we had it mastered by the end of the lesson.

Controlling our Movements 

This week we focused on making slow, controlled movements. We studied how gymnasts start and end their moves and worked on perfecting our controlled jumps. We then worked with a partner to mirror each other doing controlled movements.
