Session 4: Dance Lifts
Date: April 14th
Time: 3:30-6:30Pm
Description: Jacob and Debbie have poured through the internet and learned from many teachers to find all the best dance lifts! This is an entirely different kind of acro. In standing acro there are a lot of static holds. The flyer moves up and down in ways similar to how a weightlifter does a power clean. Dance lifts are different because they use momentum to lift the flyer up and down in more graceful movement, similar to ballet. In this class you will first practice individual dance lifts and later put them together into a flow.
Prerequisites: Must be comfortable with 2 High. Must be able to do back walk over lift. https://youtu.be/Wbo35IQccNI . Must be able to do partner cartwheels. https://youtu.be/NacjkohCpfg . Must be able to do high bird.

Instructor Bios:
Jacob Brown started his movement training with gymnastics when he was eight years old. Much later a friend introduced him to acro and has caused his life to change forever. It started in the summer of 2010. He and friends found the few acro videos on YouTube at the time and endeavored to work them out. It was slow at first, with each new move they learned it became easier to unlock new skills. In 2014, Josh and Lizzy announced the first Acro Revolution Teacher training, which Jacob attended.
In 2013 Debbie and Jacob started to work together regularly. Their partnership flourished because of their strong work ethic and common background in gymnastics. Debbie loved the connection and flow she could find with a partner. She can forget about the whole world while flowing through complex acrobatic movements. Even the mistakes are fun because they end in laughing piles of humans. As frequently happens when people work closely for an extended period, this partnership grew into a relationship. Debbie got her Revolution certification in 2017.
Jacob and Debbie have developed a love of teaching acro. It started locally, then came teaching tours up and down the west coast, then to Europe, South America, and now to Kansas City!
