Beginner Cyr Wheel: 2:30-4:30pm
Intermediate/Advanced Cyr Wheel 5-7pm
Taught by Randy Kato
Beginner Cyr Wheel Workshop 2:30-430pm
Welcome to the Cyr wheel! In this workshop we will learn a bit of history of the Cyr wheel, the three basic types of wheel movement, some safety tips, and the concepts of static balance vs. dynamic balance and how that applies to learning Cyr wheel. This workshop will benefit anybody from complete beginners to those who have been spinning for a while but are still working on their waltz and basic variations.
No experience or background fitness level required!
Intermediate/Advanced 5-7pm
Let’s get Cyr-ious! So you can maintain your waltz and have some basic variations and skills under your belt, let’s take things further. In this workshop we will learn more about advanced concepts such as varying the number of points of contact on the wheel and how to approach the corresponding skills. Now that your body understands dynamic balance we will explore the physics involved in higher level skills - knowledge you can take with you beyond this workshop that will help you in your own practice. Pre-Reqs sustained waltz (12+ steps), as well as a couple additional skills/variations that could be arabesque, half turn.

He has performed for Big Apple Circus, The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, Omnium Circus, Montréal Complètement Cirque, The Chicago Contemporary Circus Festival, NBC News, the CBS Morning Show, the FOX Morning Show, and so much more. He is also a Wheel Gymnastics World Championship competitor for Team USA.
