After the basics (various rolls front and back, cartwheels, head/handstands back bends) are learned, it is imperative that the student be strong enough to progress to the next skill. By doing the different movements each week, the student is constantly receiving reinforcement of their basics, and while having fun, becomes stronger to progress to the harder and more difficult feats.
