WHAT: In this 1.5hr workshop we’ll explore spins! Everything from how to spin underneath yourself without a swing or an orbit, tools and practices for alleviating dizziness and tips for nausea and spin related wonkiness! We’ll play with span set spins, side mounts, flares, split spins, etc at multiple heights and explore different ways of entering the hoop!
