Magic City Acro and North Alabama Acro are excited to bring Christine Moonbeam to Decatur, AL for a full weekend of handstand and partner acrobatics training. She is teaming up with local teachers Andrew Tynes and Chase Downing to bring you 12 full hours of acro training and fun!!
Join us for a weekend of smoothing out your L-basing transitions, exploring strong flyer washing machines, honing in on your F2H and H2H technique, exploring various standing lifts, and learning how to get strong and train safely toward standing hand to hand.

ABOUT THE TEACHERS
Christine Moonbeam:
Christine is co-founder, director and a lead teacher at LIFT, a RYT 200 with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of Iowa. She began studying dance & tumbling and teaching at an early age and competed throughout the country in all disciplines earning numerous accolades & awards. She taught & choreographed throughout her dance career beginning at age of 13 through her studio’s student mentorship program. At LIFT trainings, Christine facilitates and mentors up and coming LIFT apprentices and teaches dance, tumbling, partner acro and handstands.
Christine was first introduced to partner acrobatics while working with a youth social circus for underserved youth in Washington D.C. called Zip Zap Circus. It was here that her passion for acro started to take flight! She has been studying partner acrobatics and handstands ever since with Dutch teachers, sports acro, and circus coaches in the US and Europe. She has spent the last 4 years developing LIFT, traveling and teaching around the US, Europe, Asia, and Mexico with her partner Aaron Lind. It was in New Orleans that LIFT was born with our very first immersion in the fall of 2015.
Christine’s more than 20 years of training and teaching have given her a well developed eye for alignment and movement, and her ability to give skillful and compassionate feedback leads to student success. She is an advocate of acro as an inclusive, artistic co-creation that develops practitioners through healthy relationship and dedication to empowering each other in their role. Christine believes partner acrobatics is a powerful tool for self-discovery.
