Personally, I grab my ankle of the leg that stays on the ground and you follow through like it is a cartwheel, you can still put your hands on the ground, but the key to this dance move is that you are only lifting one leg off the ground and it looks like a cartwheel.

You will want to make sure you can do a regular cartwheel with no problem, almost in your sleep! Then if you are a righty the one hand that stays on the ground is your right arm.

How do a one handed cartwheel?
It's easy once you have your two-handed cartwheel. Practice it with both hands then try it with your bad leg. After that (make sure you didn't fall on your bad leg), try the two-handed on your good leg but try to take one hand away. Keep on practicing that and also do push-ups everyday to work your arm muscles. You need to have that one arm strong because all of your weight on it! Good luck!
How do you do a cartwheel into a backbend standup?

How do you do a roundoff?
To be able to perform a roundoff it is necessary to be able to do a cartwheel. Next practice a cartwheel from a hurdle step, which means to use a small run and a hop into the "lunge" with one leg forward so the added speed makes the cartwheel rotate faster. The next step is to do a "push away" or 'snap down" cartwheel from the hurdle. The idea is to push off the ground with the arms so that the entire body is off the ground momentarily before the first foot touches the ground. Once a student can do this particular type of cartwheel then turning it into a roundoff is only a matter of finishing the cartwheel with the feet together. The hurdle, and snap down add enough extra time to bring the legs together and make the roundoff possible. A pointer on how to place the hands: Try to consistently place the hands on the ground one at a time and more or less in a straight line. If the fingers are pointed in the direction of where the skill began, this way it is possible for the gymnast to push from the hands as well as the arms, which makes a good amount of difference. Good luck.
