description Back Hip Circle Overview
Back hip circle is a basic artistic gymnastics skill performed on the uneven bars or horizontal bar, and it can also be adapted to the balance beam. A gymnast begins in front support, circles backward with the hips contacting the bar, and finishes in front support. It differs from a clear hip circle because the hips remain in contact with the apparatus. [Gymnastics reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_hip_circle)
