Front Balance is a fundamental aerial position that requires a strong connection to the deep core. This is a skill we introduce partway through our beginner level curriculum, and one that intermediate and advanced level students continue to work on and build from.
We teach Front Balance from a fabric knot, as shown in this video, at first. At higher levels students will integrate the front balance into a variety of wrapped skills. The actions of a front balance are really important in learning how to kleep the body tight and strong, while reaching out into space and extending into a backbend at the same time. We have developed a lot of drills and tips to help students master this important skill.
