Croissant is one of the first Hip Key skills we teach our students once they can get into a hip key in the air. It’s an interesting and dramatic shape, and climbing up out of it to exit is a good strength builder for students getting stronger to spend more time in the air.

Croissant is a strong arched body shape, and it’s a skill where we need to settle into the wraps mindfully to get it set correctly. Overall it is a simple skill and a fun one for students entering the world of hip key skills.
