GERMAN WHEEL –PRIVATE LESSON AVAILABLE IN APRIL 

The German Wheel is a large double rimmed wheel the acrobat puts themselves in and rolls around the ground like a big coin. Difficult acrobatic elements are broken down into small achievable training steps that allow enthusiasts, even with no acrobatic experience, to progress in a fun and challenging way.

Students will learn the basics of rolling and sitting, dropping on their stomachs and elements over the top of the wheel in an upright, straight line position. Into moves that seem to defy gravity as their hands let go of the handles, and they are only supported by their feet while rolling upside down. And when ready, students will explore the ever so impressive spirals with the wheel tilted onto one rim, figure of eights and coin spins.

Snugly tying shoes are a must. Running shoes are ok, flat bottom skate shoes are ideal (Vans, Converse). No boots, flip flops, or soft gymnastic shoes. No experience necessary. Ages 13+ recommended.
