The Cyr Wheel or the ‘simple wheel’ is an acrobatic apparatus that looks like a giant metal hula hoop–but its use is totally unique! Students stand inside the wheel and spin, roll, glide, and fly across the floor while manipulating the wheel! While tough at first, the Cyr wheel is a great workout for posture, core, and shoulder positioning. Much of your first session will be spent working on the basic step called waltzing, where you propel the wheel in a circular rotating motion. Additionally, students will learn the three basic ways a wheel can move through manipulation skills. The wheel is the perfect combination of grace and strength as it lends itself well to both dance and acrobatics.
