Start Here (Beginner Path)
If you’re new, the fastest way to progress is simple: learn one clean foundation pattern, then add one transition at a time.
Step 1: Learn the basics (control > speed)
- Relax shoulders and wrists
- Keep your star in a clean plane
- Build both directions early

2) Transitions

- Resets / recovery (get back to “home base” without stopping)

3) Tosses + beginner aerial confidence
- Toss & catch (small + controlled)
- J-toss (beginner-friendly toss path)
Rule: confidence > height. Keep tosses low until catches feel easy.
4) Combos + flow feel
- Link 2–3 moves without stopping
- Practice “same combo, different direction”
- Add footwork once your hands are calm

How to Practice (So You Improve Faster)
- Short sessions win: 5–15 minutes, a few times a week.
- Repeat one thing: stay on one move until it feels natural.
- Use music: rhythm makes timing easier.
- Practice both sides: your “bad side” becomes your superpower later.
- Film once a week: progress is easier to see on video.

Gear That Makes Practice Easier
Good gear won’t replace practice - but it can make practice more comfortable, more consistent, and easier to bring with you.
Choose your Flow Star

- Mini Flow Stars - compact and quick-feeling
- LED Flow Stars - night sessions + visual pop

Bring Your Flow to Events (Respectfully)
Flow at events is magical - just keep it shared-space friendly. Choose edges, avoid walkways, scale your movement to the crowd, and stay extra aware at night.
