About
Private Handstand & Handbalancing Coaching provides a fully individualized approach to developing balance, control, strength, and confidence while inverted. The program welcomes committed beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners, circus artists, gymnasts, dancers, acrobats, and other movement professionals ages 14 and older.
Your first session begins with an assessment of your current technique, mobility, strength, training background, and goals. Based on this assessment, you will receive focused progressions and exercises appropriate to your level rather than following a general, one size fits all class.
Beginners can work on wrist and shoulder preparation, body alignment, safe entries and exits, wall-supported exercises, balance awareness, and the progression toward a controlled freestanding handstand. Intermediate and advanced students may focus on longer holds, leg positions, presses, endurance, transitions, handstand blocks or canes, one arm preparation, and more complex handbalancing sequences.
Each session combines detailed technical feedback with targeted strength, mobility, flexibility, and joint-preparation exercises. Appropriate spotting and hands-on guidance may be provided with the student’s consent. Students can also receive exercises to practise independently between sessions, helping create a more consistent and structured training process.
For professional and pre-professional artists, coaching may include act development, choreography, stage presentation, technical refinement, and preparation for auditions, circus-school entrance requirements, competitions, performances, or professional engagements.
Training is led by Capital Circus founder Vladimir Hrynchenko, a former Cirque du Soleil performer and internationally experienced circus coach. Whether your goal is to achieve your first freestanding handstand, improve an established practice, or refine a professional handbalancing act, each session provides a clear and personalized path toward meaningful progress.
