Music Box, also sometimes called Mermaid Roll Up, is a beautiful and classic skill, but it can be tough on the shoulder if it’s practiced or taught without a strong focus on supports. Our main goal when teaching this skill is keeping students’ shoulders happy and healthy so this video goes through the cuing we use.
Music Box is a single footlock skill that we teach in our intermediate level classes, once students are comfortable with related supports like SIngle Crucifix in the Air and Roll Up skills like Crocodile Roll Up. Our cuing focuses on using both arms equally and extending strongly through the leg, to keep the entire body engaged and involved in the movement of this skill.
