First Steps is exactly that – a beginner Cyr wheel workshop dedicated to those looking to explore Cyr wheel for the first time. Students will learn basic riding positions to spin and waltz, as well as multiple safe and effective mounts and dismounts. The core riding element will be supplemented with off-wheel manipulation and cooperative drills and exercises. Students will learn these moves while receiving a thorough explanation of Cyr wheel physics and theory that will allow them to train safely and progress with the material covered well after the workshop.

No prior experience necessary!

Space Requirements: hard, flat surface and large open space. Ideally, a gymnasium, dance studio, etc.

No additional equipment needed.  

 

Looking for something that feels like being a human gyroscope? Or feels like having your own self sustainable roller coaster ride? If you answered yes, then this workshop is for you! Introducing an art form under twenty years old and growing worldwide, I give you the cyr (seer) wheel! This well rounded workshop will give students the history, application, and direct experience of what it is like to create movement inside the cyr wheel. Along with live demonstration students will learn basic movement on and off the wheel to understand the needed physicality and grace. Side effects include amazement, excitement, increased focus and inspiration to try something new.

 

Kailen continues to push the envelope of what is humanly possible with dance and the movement arts. The moment he saw the cyr wheel in action he knew it was an art form he would fall in love with and looks forward to sparking that feeling in someone else. His many years of practice and experience in teaching paves the way for an extremely fun class.
