An introductory Cyr wheel workshop covering manipulation, spinning and rolling for beginner learners.

About this course

The workshop introduces the Cyr wheel through its main movement categories: manipulation, spinning and rolling. Participants first become familiar with the wheel’s weight, momentum and natural movement before exploring patterns across different axes.
