Higher Intermediate Core Syllabus
Most of the tricks in this section require an invert
Higher intermediate encompasses skills that require a certain level of comfort with inverting. Everything here will require a little more confidence, ability, strength and flexibility than intermediate but is still within reach for most students.
Crash mats, spotters, ensure you have strong prerequisites. I cannot be responsible for your safety at distance.
Once we start to get on to higher intermediate and above our own personal strengths and weaknesses start to become more important and doing things in a specific order becomes less important.
Take your time refining each skill and don’t rush ahead. A new skill or two each week is plenty! You may even find going slower is better for you.
Do not expect that you should be able to do every single skill on any of the syllabuses. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. You can skip tutorials or come back to them later if you wish. It can take months or years for some skills to click. Some you may just never get on with.
Core syllabuses tend to be made up of skills that are important if you’re wanting to move forward to advanced and beyond. If you’re happy taking your journey as it comes then it matters far less.
