Hand to Hand
Hand to hand is an acrobatic discipline in which two or more partners balance with and on one another. It is often based on the relationship between a base, who supports, and a flyer, who is lifted, balanced, or moved through a variety of positions and transitions.
It combines strength, balance, coordination, timing, and teamwork. Hand to hand can be static, focusing on control and held positions, or dynamic, incorporating throws, catches, and more explosive acrobatic movements.
