Circus School Day 5

Today, more acro and stilts.

Since I'm an uber-newbie to partner acro, this is interesting. I finally managed to do a decent cartwheel, possibly for the first time in my life. I like basing more than flying, but am kind of small to base most of the people, so will have to stick with flying more often than not.

Stilts were also fun tonight. We did a lot of kicking and wandering around. I'm still vaguely terrified, but did fall on my own tonight (on purpose-this is how you get off of them). There are plans in the works to make some just for fun, but first I need to find a decent soft wood without knots in it. I've been told that all the places in Santa Fe suck for this, so hopefully can find something suitable in Albuquerque.
