German Wheel

Come rock, roll and flip on the German Wheel! While tough at first, wheel disciplines offer a great workout for posture, core, and shoulder positioning and a wonderful creative challenge. Beginners will learn to rock back and forth, sit on the bars, and cartwheel. More advanced students may learn to stand on top, free fly, and do backward and forward flips.Participants must wear closed-toed shoes. Shoes should be flexible and have thin hard soles, like Converses, Keds, or ideally, martial arts shoes.
