“Frames of a comic strip from a newspaper.”

 

That is how a student once described the get-up. Every part of the get-up gets a frame. If we walked in the room while you were performing a get-up, we would only know if you were going up or down once you made the next move to the next frame of the comic strip.

 

How you transition from one frame to the next is the art of performing the get-up.
