Acro Educators Training Program 2027
Advertisement
…not your typical teacher training.
April 5-11, 2027 in Downtown Asheville, NC
▫DETAILS + APPLICATIONS @ www.AcroEducators.com
Discover yourself in this pedagogy-focused, week-long training program designed for current and aspiring educators of Acro. Led by Blox, assisted by Christine Moonbeam, and featuring some very exciting guests, this transformative experience combines lectures, generative discussions, hands-on workshops, introspective exercises, and group activities to help you uncover and refine your unique teaching/coaching style. Journeying from instructor to teacher to coach to mentor, you’ll explore the delicate art of guiding others in edge work while learning to harness your voice, elevate your teaching acuity, and build meaningful connections with your students. Beyond the technical and ‘soft’ skills of being an educator, we’ll also tackle the practical side of running a successful education business. We’ll help you identify your strengths, nurture areas of growth, and call forward the elements that make your coaching distinct and impactful.
‣ Where, specifically?
The training will take place in the beautiful Masonic Temple, downtown Asheville, at 80 Broadway St. It has a lovely wood floor (with puzzle mats), high ceilings, lots of natural light, and 110-year-old charm.
‣ Who is facilitating?
You will see the most of Blox. Christine will play a heavy role. Otherwise, we will bring in very exciting special guests - even non-acrobats! - to share on topics they have deep knowledge of.
‣ Who is this for?
Teaching Experience: The program is geared towards folks who already have experience as an educator of Acro in some capacity; they teach a regular class, they coach private lessons, they teach at festivals etc. Admission is open to folks without Acro teaching experience, but ideally, they would have taught or coached something in their past. As well, everyone is strongly encouraged to create Acro teaching opportunities for themselves between acceptance into the program and participation.
‣ Acro Prerequisites: in an effort to move away from the common standard that teachers must be able to embody the skills they ask of their students, at this time, Acro Educators does notrequire the physical ability to do any movement as a prerequisite. However, to attend this program it is essential that you understand the mechanics of the foundational poses and movements in the area of Acrobatics you wish to teach/coach. This is not a suitable training for beginners. You’ve gotta be able to do it, you used to be able to do it, or you’ve been coaching it for 5+ years so you know it inside and out.

Acknowledgement
We all are in different financial positions. To some the investment amount will be spent without noticing the money is gone. To others it requires saving and sacrifice. To others still, it is simply unrealistic without outside financial support. Being a socially conscious organization means we are faced with a lot of complex and challenging considerations when it comes to how to manage and price our offering. Our structure is imperfect, but please trust we have considered deeply and are doing our best to acknowledge and counterbalance systems of oppression and the resulting economic and opportunity disparity.
