This unit develops students' understanding of how bodies work together in gymnastics through counter-balance and counter-tension principles. Moving from individual control to collaborative sequences, students explore the physics of partnership - learning to trust, communicate, and create impressive balanced shapes through opposing forces. The progression from solo mastery to group creativity builds both technical skill and essential social competencies.
