A baby freeze with a teacher

Learnt at a club

Ready when: Six-step footwork (b3) done and a teacher is present.

Before you look for a club

What the coach teaches

The baby freeze and how to come out of it and roll safely, chin tucked; go-downs from toprock to the floor.

At home, safe only

Find the beat (b1) to Six-step footwork (b3) and Floor steps around the hands (b5) to Your tag, your crew (b7). No freezes at home in which the head takes weight.

Ask the club

The age policy for freezes; the warm-up routine; how wrists and necks are protected.

What you can see from the side

The child balances for a moment and comes out of the freeze under control.

Self-check what the coach confirms

The child holds a freeze for 2 seconds on 3 tries with a teacher standing by to help.

Stop and get a coach when

Neck or wrist pain, or the child falls on the head.
