Handstands
A Handstand is by far the most important skill every gymnast must master. This is because almost every skill in gymnastics involves a handstand, a handstand variation, or passing through a handstand position.
Before considering any of the other Breakthrough Workshops below, consider if your daughter has mastered her handstand yet. Simply mastering her handstand will have a profound effect on the rest of her skills.

Cartwheels and
Round-offs
Cartwheels and Round-offs are often seen as standalone skills that many beginners perform on their own. But Cartwheels and Round-offs actually serve a much more significant purpose, one that makes mastering them very important. The main purpose of a Cartwheel or a Round-off is to start a tumbling series. They are often followed by a Back Handspring. But if they aren't performed correctly, the entire tumbling series can be crooked, weak, inefficient, and dangerous.
Performing a Cartwheel or Roundoff correctly will result in faster, more powerful, and much safer tumbling.
They are both complex skills that require attention to detail. From the starting position, to the arm placement and direction of travel on entry, to the right time to turn, to the proper hand positions, to the exit position (which changes depending on the skill that follows) - all of these must be taken into consideration and performed correctly in order to make a tumbling series possible. And the better they are, the better the tumbling will be.
Before considering any of the Breakthrough Workshops below, consider if your daughter has mastered her Cartwheels and Handstands yet. Simply mastering her Cartwheels and Round-offs will have a profound effect on the tumbling series that comes after them.

Bridges and Walkovers
The Bridge is fundamental to performing front and back walkovers and more advanced tumbling. Bridges involve a combination of shoulder strength and flexibility, core and hip flexibility, as well as balance and coordination.
Front and Back Walkovers involve transitioning through Handstands and Bridges with the legs in a split position.
Once one masters Bridges and Walkovers, they will be ready to perform flight versions - Front and Back Handsprings. And when Handstands, Cartwheels, Bridges and Walkovers are combined, they begin for form Tumbling Series.

Front and Side Aerials
Aerials are flight skills - where a cartwheel or front walkover are performed without the use of the hands.
They are very dynamic skills that involve power, flexibility, coordination, timing, and grace. They can be performed on their own or in Series.
Naturally, mastering Cartwheels and Walkovers is a necessity in order to begin learning Aerials.

Front and Back Handsprings
Front Handsprings lead into Front Tumbling Series, much like Cartwheels and Round-offs lead into Back Tumbling Series. A two-footed version of a Front Handspring, is a Front Flyspring.
Back Handsprings can be performed on their own; however, they are often used in the Middle Phase of Tumbling Series, between a Cartwheel or Round-off and Saltos (flips) that come afterwards.
As a result, Back Handsprings are one of the most important tumbling elements. A Back Handspring that is performed without hands is called a Whip (see Salto Workshops below for details).

Saltos
Here are the main Saltos, aka "Flips":
Back Tuck - a backflip performed in a tucked position
Back Pike - a backflip performed in a piked position
Back Layout - a backflip performed with the legs straight and the hips extended
Back Whip (or 'whip-back') - a backflip between a Back Handspring and a Back Layout
Front Tuck - a front-flip performed in a tucked position
Front Pike - a front-flip performed in a piked position
Front Layout - a front-flip performed with the legs straight and the hips extended
Front Whip - a front-flip between a Front Handspring and a Front Layout

Tumbling Series
Now it is time to combine all of the above skills to create Tumbling Series.
For example, Round-off -> Back Handspring -> Back Tuck
OR
Front Handspring, Cartwheel Step-out, Back Handspring Step-out, Back Layout Step-out
The combinations are numerous. Putting different combinations together is both challenging and exciting, and it involves a lot of creativity.
