Lions and Elbows and Beats, Oh My!
With Rebecca Starr
About This Workshop
Join us to break down technique, drills, and variations for lion rolls, elbow rolls, and beats on lyra! We will start with the basics – progressions and drills to build technique, muscular pathways, and stamina – then move into the full skills and hopefully variations on the theme! Reverse elbow circles, beats with directional changes, and snakey style roll-ups could all be on the table!
