This week in classes:

Get ready for another wonderful week of classes! We have two jam-packed classes for you on Wednesday, read more below!

For the beginner class, we’ll focus on inversions. While “inversions” generally sparks thoughts of handstands, turns out there are a whole lot more. This week, we’ll walk you through some of the basic inversions and their entrances and exits.

The intermediate class will work on a washing machine that uses reverse star and side star. You’ll need to be able to do bird and sidestar, and be comfortable with inversions. It'll be a great time!!

After an awesome handstand class yesterday, we’re hard at work getting ready for Wednesday’s classes. Check out what we’ve got for you!

During the beginner class, we’ll be working on some basic poses, then threading them together to cartwheel into tick-tocks and make it super smooth.

The intermediate class will tackle a washing machine that moves through foot to hand. Foot to hand can be tricks, so we’ll need participants to have some familiarity with both foot to hand and sidestar. Be ready! 🤸🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️

Our Wednesday beginner acro class will focus on bird, side star, and transitioning using tick-tocks, while the intermediate class can expect a cool flow that moves through foot to hand, sidestar, and croc. We’re excited to see you all there!

In this series you can expect to learn and develop the skills needed to feel comfortable with the building blocks of standing acrobatics. We'll touch on things like two high, foot to hand, counterbalances, and foundational banquine, among others.

Wednesday
6:00 - 7:30 Beginner Acro with Sarah and Jagger
Curious about acro?? Now's your chance to try it out!! We'll go through basic poses and transitions to get you ready for the intermediate classes, or to help you shore up your skills if you're a more advanced practitioner.

8:00 - 9:30 Intermediate L basing Acro with Sarah, Kerri, and Jagger
You can expect pops, dynamic flows, and entrances and exits to thrill and amaze. This class is intended for those who have had some L basing experience, or are returning to ACRO after a bit of time off.

Friday
8:00 - 11:00 Acro Jam
Weekly playtime to work on skills we’ve learned in class, things you’ve seen online, or new skills you’re dreaming up!

Sunday

For our Boston Spinjam folks, this is open time to play with flow props. Swing on by if you’re curious!

4:00 - 6:00 Acro Jam
Just like the Friday jam, expect unstructured playtime to be used as you please.

If anyone is in need of financial assistance or wants to attend a class/jam/event, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. I will do everything I can to make sure money isn't a barrier to partaking in a movement practice.
Looking forward to more amazing ACRO!!

We don't know about you, but the thing we missed the most during the pandemic was the company of other females in our lives. Not to mention that we find working with other female identifying humans in acro to be so empowering! We love the opportunity to base, fly and spot each other and accomplish skills we never thought possible. We are each other's biggest cheerleaders and greatest teachers.

Let's throw those traditional views of flyers and bases out the window and see how strong we can be together and how high we can fly!

There will be an hour of structured class time taught by Sarah, Kerri and Liticia followed by an hour of jam time. We will focus on empowering strengths, problem solving and overcoming some of the challenges of similar size pairs. This will be a safe space to explore movement and try out different roles.
