Partner Acrobatics

Partner acrobatics is a circus discipline that requires no equipment other than multiple people! In class we will learn how to support each other in balance, counter-balance, and lifts. We will learn safe ways of practicing skills learned in class by developing spotting techniques and working with gradual progressions. Learn to trust, connect, and communicate with other students as you create amazing shapes!

L-Basing

L-basing is a partner acrobatics practice where the base is in a supine position with their legs up creating an L-shape with their body. In this introductory series we will learn the fundamentals of lifting, balancing, and moving with each other safely. We will encourage trying out both basing and flying, and everyone will learn safe spotting techniques. We’ll start with static poses, then move into transitions, and ultimately building those elements into short series, and washing machines.
