All-Levels Handstands – Wed 7-8 pm

February 12, 2025 by Amanda Gatewood

Jack and Amanda offer handstand classes that are open to everyone at any level. We also offer private handstand lessons and individual support.

All-Levels Handstand Class

Begin your handstand journey! This drop-in class is tailored toward getting your first freestanding handstand, improving your technique, and increasing your hold times.

This class is open to everyone and has no prerequisites. Progressions are offered for beginner to intermediate skill levels. Classes are taught by Jack and Amanda.

Class is typically on Wednesdays from 7-8 pm; check the MCS calendar to confirm.

Classes are drop-in, no sign up or registration required, and cost $20/class (Venmo preferred, to @Jack-Racca). Please make sure you have completed the MCS waiver within the current calendar year prior to joining class (the waiver only needs to be completed once per person during each calendar year). 

Contact jackracca.bt@gmail.com with any questions or to be added to the email list to receive class updates.

Sample topics include:

  • Wrist conditioning and injury prevention
  • Core engagement
  • Shoulder strength and flexibility
  • Finding balance in a handstand using the help of a wall, steady support object, or a friend
  • How to bail safely and confidently
  • Basic entries to handstand (kick-up, straddle-up, tuck-up)
  • Increasing range of control in a freestanding handstand
  • Improving handstand endurance
  • Intro to handstand walking
  • Intro to shape changing (straddle, tuck, diamond)
“Hi! We’re your teachers, Amanda and Jack!” 🙂
