Program

Welcome to our Partner Acrobatics 10-day Foundational Teacher Training Program! Explore the foundations of acrobatics in an immersive experience that fosters communication, trust, and teamwork, all of which are crucial skills for aspiring acrobatics teachers.

Dive into the world of Dutch and circus-style acrobatics, handstands, washing machines, trios, and therapeutics under our expert guidance. At the core of our programs lies the commitment to sustainability. Because we want to be able to practice continuously, our Prehab program integrates proper alignment and sports science principles to enhance performance and minimize the risk of pain and injuries.

Partner Acrobatics creates a secure and encouraging community for those embarking on their journey to become effective and inspiring acrobatics teachers. For this reason, our Foundational teacher training focuses on mastering partner acrobatics techniques, including alignment, biomechanics, and injury prevention.

Through our teaching methodology, we deconstruct progressions and employ a sports science approach. We encourage and support you to develop your unique teaching style, influenced by the latest principles of neuroscience and motor learning, coupled with our extensive teaching experience. With these tools and skills, you will be able to successfully teach acro classes and workshops for instance.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites

We do require require you have some basic experience with the following acrobatic skills. We need you to honestly and accurately asses whether the following skills are accessible/of ease to you (while working with someone of similar skill level) as a base OR flyer, at the time of application you must be able to accomplish the skills without a spotter helping (they can be there for safety).

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!

 

Send us 1 video with 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 prerequisites! The video also doesn’t need to be of high production quality, a quick one on your cell phone is fine:)

Izmir is the closest international airport. Alternatively, Dalaman is a 4 hour drive away from SToA.

By public transportation

From Izmir Intercity bus terminal (IZOTAS), you can reach the town center with dolmuses (mini-bus) departing every 40 minutes to Selçuk. From Selçuk, there are dolmus services to Sirince every 20 minutes.

To travel from Adnan Menderes Airport to Selçuk, you can use the HAVAS shuttles operating between Adnan Menderes and Selçuk. The journey with HAVAS to Selçuk takes approximately 1 hour. From Selçuk there are dolmus services (mini-bus) to Sirince every 20 minutes.

By car

For those traveling by car from Izmir to Sirince, there are two alternative routes: Izmir-Aydin Highway or Izmir-Aydin State road. Using the highway is both faster and more comfortable. After leaving the highway at the Selçuk junction and reaching the Selçuk town center, follow the signs to Sirince and you will reach the village 8 km later. If you are using the Izmir-Aydin State road, you should come to the Selçuk town center as well and follow the signs to Sirince.

On some days, the handstand or acro class will be a practice teaching session, where students are teaching each other. During these sessions, you will get the chance to practice teaching classes with different co-teachers and on different subjects. Preparing these classes will be your own responsibility in break-times and on rest days.

If you are working online, take into account that you might be able to work 1 or 2 hours a day maximum, if you are disciplined. The course will ask both your time and attention and in our experience it will be challenging to add too much else to the daily schedule.

There will be 2 days where we schedule a morning or afternoon of rest, to balance out the physical activity. Note that these time might be used for preparing your own classes.
