This 8 hour course (including practical exams) focuses on the progressions and drills needed to make your dancers achieve these skills.  There is also a lot of time scheduled to practice and become comfortable with the timing and feel of back tuck and back layout spotting.

Teachers are required to attend with a demonstrator who is Level 8 or higher and who has mastered the progressions leading up to back tuck and back layout. IE: Side aerial, roundoff back handspring, cartwheel back handspring step out, hold a handstand for 1 minute, 25 handstand shoulder shrugs, 15 consecutive V-snaps, 10 push-ups.

Demonstrators should have strong stamina and be able to safely perform these skills independently.

This course is ideal for teachers who do not feel comfortable spotting these skills.

Teachers must be certified in this course to enter students into exams at the Pre Professional levels.
