A distinctive twist on the classic Tumbleweed, this flow feels closer to the Midnight Tumbleweed than the original. It skips the Star, replacing it with a graceful Biceps Stand in Hands, yet still delivers that mesmerizing vertical spin. Strong but airy, accessible yet full of playful challenge. And for those who can’t press into a high Foot-to-Hand, the magic still works beautifully with a low one.
It starts with biceps in hands, back bird, then high foot2hand, then he places the flyer in a back throne, from here comes the biceps in hands pose. Lauren Clausen
Very similar Peacock tumble to Lauren’s, no high foot2hand here. A beautiful performance. Danzaires Acroyoga Fernando Vizcaíno Carles
