International Handstand Day International #HandstandDay took place on Saturday 24th June 2017. Thousands of people across the country and the world got involved on the day, showing off their most impressive handstands in the most unusual places. Salto Acrobatics Club in Luton were one of many clubs who got involved with lots of different events. They did a club competition to email a photo in of their most creative handstands, which had a brilliant response with lots of their members, including parents, getting involved. It’s great to see so many people enjoying seeing the world upside down! We got in touch with 16 year old Lauren Brookes who trains at Salto Acrobatics. She talks us through why she loves gymnastics and how she first learnt to perform and hold a handstand‌
