With Kira and Michael
With Lux
DESCRIPTION
Fresh new faces to the USA! Learn from these two international performers from Germany! They will be delighted to share their skills for the first time in the USA with us.
Learn a fun exciting standing acro flow choreographed to music. With a focus on transitions, be it on the ground or high in the air, flaunt a performance quality into your acro endgame. Let’s also dive deeper into your foundation of h2h basics and work up to advanced skills. This intensive is “open level” and will include a range of difficulty options.
DESCRIPTION
Join this full day of L-BASE excitement! Begin with co-created movement drills that will give you new edges. Then drop into the process of flow creation. We will learn to harness the intuitiveness of acro flows.
Learning how to read each others movements with contact and pressure. We will spin and twist in delight as we spend the day studying our edge and refining our foundation.
So be prepared to mix up your practice and transition between a wide range of Acro poses and techniques. Whatever your level, you will be challenged to work hard and have fun!
