Program
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Jan 3rd to 31st, 2018
Our Partner Acrobatics teacher training program offers an opportunity to intensively train for four weeks, whilst learning the skills and tools to teach successful acro classes and workshops. We encourage and support our students in developing their own teaching style, based on the latest principals of neuroscience and motor learning and our own extensive teaching experience.
Moreover plenty of time will be dedicated to improve your personal acrobatic practice. Some time will be dedicated to prepare public performances and work on the aesthetics of your acro moves. A minimum of six hours per week is dedicated to therapeutics to restore your body. Students have the option to focus their training and choose the amount of hours spent practicing acrobatics and/or therapeutics.
In our Partner Acrobatics programs we cover many different acrobatic disciplines: standing acrobatics, handstand training, washing machines, trio tricks, Icarian games, to name a few.
This physical intensity is balanced out with our therapeutic sessions, which aim to heal and restore the body.

On your application you will be asked to rate your comfort level in the following…. while they are not prerequisites, the more experience you come with the more you will gain out of the training!
- L-BASING (base lying down)

Send us 1 video
- 1-2 minute acrobatic flow of your choice.
The video should represent where you are at skill-wise, however, it doesn’t need to be all of the craziest things you can do—think elements from the preqs! The video also doesn’t need to be of high production quality, a quick one on your cell phone is fine:)
