This is a really fun move that is easy to repeat all around your space.

Setup

Have the first person stand slightly bent at the hips and knees, arms out ready to catch the second person. The second person needs to stand facing the same direction as the first and about one step forward. Have the second cartwheel into the first (doing this at an angle makes it a bit easier) placing their near shoulder onto the first's near knee while hooking the near arm around the near leg. The second's head goes between the legs of the first and the far shoulder goes onto the far leg. As the second becomes upside down the first should grab them around the waist.

Movement

As the second person continues through their cartwheel the first will place them down on the ground. Once the second has their feet on the ground again the first can begin their cartwheel while being picked up by the second. Each should pick up and place down the other. Check the videos below for examples.
