The butterfly is one of the most stylish and fundamental tricks in acrobatics. It builds control, coordination, and sets the base for more advanced moves like the butterfly twist.
Start with a strong setup step in with momentum and keep your body low. Your chest should stay almost parallel to the ground.
Swing your arms wide and powerful — this is what gives you lift. Your legs follow like a whip: first one kicks, then the other extends through.
Keep your body long and controlled. Don’t rush — focus on smooth movement, not height.
Land softly on one leg, staying balanced and in control.
Train it step by step, and once it clicks it feels effortless.
