We, Isabel & Graeme, love all things Acro and have had a lot of fun diving deeper into the art of Dance Acrobatics within the last year. Dance Acro refers to mainly standing Acrobatics and involves lifts, flips, throws and counterbalances which can be incorporated into any dance routine or just enjoyed on their own.
After coming back with lots of ideas and new moves from attending various European Acrobatic conventions, we are looking forward to sharing some exciting, yet accessible dance-y, flipp-y and balance-y moves with you all!

PRE-REQUISITES:
Pre-requisite for this workshop is some basic partner acrobatic or/and dance lift experience (through workshops, classes or self-practice). No need to bring a partner and no dance experience required (only a desire and joy to move and create shapes and flows with others).
