Angela, Kraig, and Matt are offering 4 workshops at SANCA! Join them for a weekend of acrobatic exploration, or drop in for just one or two. Descriptions and registration links below. Friday 1/24 5-7pm:
“Dance Lifts” with Kraig and Angela
This workshop will focus on the fundamental principles of dance lifts: tempo and timing, shared weight, reciprocal tension, & kinesthetic touch-points. By using these key ingredients, adding a bit of flair and grace, we will explore a variety of lifts perfect for the dance floor or the stage!
Prerequisites: Flyers- a cartwheel & a 30 second handstand against the wall.
Bases- a strong squat & a 30 second handstand against the wall
Saturday 1/25 1-3:30pm:
“Swing Toss” with Kraig, Angela, and Matt
Come learn the art of swing toss! Two bases and one flyer collaborate for an exhilarating ride. We will teach entrances, exits, tricks and transitions. This high-flying workshop will cater to acrobats who love large group skills and either being tossed or catching someone being tossed.
Prereqs: 2-high, strong shoulders, accurate self-assessment, and excellent spotting
Saturday 1/25 3:45-6:15pm:
“Group Launches and Dynamic Lifts” with Kraig, Angela, and Matt
While many acro tricks can require height/weight differences, these group skills will be accessible to same-size acrobats! We’ll share surprising swoops and ludicrous lifts, where many students will get to both base and fly. We will send you home with a sequence to refine or perform.
Prereqs: bird on hands either as a base of flyer
Sunday morning 1/26 - 10am-12pm
“Advanced 2-highs” with Matt
Whether you’re onstage or just trying to impress your friends, dynamic 2-high is a foundational part of any awe-inspiring performance. 2-highs we’ll cover include: synced roll exit, hands free control, running up and down the back, surfing from the ground up, jumping in, and self-spotting exits. If you want more confidence and pizzazz in your standing acro, this is for you!
Prereqs: bouncy ankles for jumping and landing, a regular 2high, and a good sense of stack
