Manual for Acrobatics: Handstand, hand to hand, banquine<br />

6/ Leg Holds<br />

Arabesque<br />

- Normal ‘stage’ pitching position<br />

- The flyer starts with her hands<br />

on the base’ shoulders<br />

- Once the weight is over the<br />

base, he then transfers the other<br />

hand to the flyers thigh<br />

- The flyer then releases and lifts<br />

the chest<br />

Alternative arabesque<br />

7/ Standing on hands:<br />

Stepping from shoulders to hands<br />

- The base extends the arm to<br />

receive the flyers foot<br />

- The flyer transfers the weight<br />

to this foot and then pushes<br />

with the other foot<br />

- The base receives the other<br />

foot with the arms still<br />

extended, then settles to the<br />

shoulders<br />

Part2/ Hand to Hand Balancing<br />

At this point we need to look a little closer at the points of contact between catcher<br />

and flyer. The following chapter was written as an article for the British Gymnastics<br />

technical newsletter, Gymcraft. The author was Fabrice Berthet from the Ecole Nationale<br />

des Arts du Cirque in Chatellerault.<br />
