balance play

   Class today was packed with a tribe of strong, amazing women; fascinating to see the diversity in who is drawn to circus. Somehow a few of us ended up with a bit of extra energy and went on to do a little flexibility and hand balance workout.  Several classes back, we started working on a balance that really captured my imagination. Ideally the body bends upward on one hand in a sort of diagonal, arched moon shape.  At this point I can balance for a moment before I fall out to avoid a face plant.
