Half pirouette
A value skillFIG Code Group: I
FIG Code Box: 61
Drills for Half pirouette.
- Work handstand pirouettes on low parallel bars. Initiate the pirouette immediately upon reaching handstand to simulate doing the pirouette immediately out of the swing.
- Work 1/4 pirouette to 1 bar and hold. This will help develop stability. (keep tight)
- Keep tight and hollow. The tendency is to arch on this skill. Keep the handstand extended and tight.
- The skill should be done in two quick steps, not slow.
- Work the skill immediately out of the swing. Working it out of a still handstand is not the ideal.
