Backward roll: Start from a standing position, roll backward using the shape of a round-tuck, and finish with control in a standing position.

Arabesque: Start from a standing position, extend the back leg with pointed foot as high as possible by tilting the torso slightly forward from the hip socket to allow the leg to lift higher (i.e., parallel with the floor), and extend arms out to the sides as well, parallel to the floor. Maintain balance for 1 second before coming out with control.

Cartwheel: Start from a standing position, turn in lateral rotation, demonstrating a transfer of body weight from feet, onto hands by swinging one straightened leg up and off the floor, pushing off the floor with the other foot, and back to both feet to land with control.

Handstand: Start from a standing position, balance on the hands in the inverted position for 1 second, and come out of the balance with control.

Headstand: Start from a standing position, balance on the hands and head in the inverted position for 1 second, and come out of the balance with control.
