- LeedsAcro Mixed Level Class: Guest Teacher Camilla - Whips, pops and Icarian!Highfield Methodist Church, LeedsÂŁ10.00
Booking required: Mixed level partner acro classes
Guest Teacher session with @camilla.likes2play - we're excited to share this session focused on pops, whips and Icarian!
Camilla is a technical base focusing on making hard tricks feel easy and accessible to everyone. She came into acro from slacklining, climbing and flow toys. Today her practice focuses on icarians and whips. She is certified with Partner Acrobatics.
This will be a mixed level class but some experience of foundational poses such as bird, throne, star and straddle bat will be useful. And the more work you can do on pops leading up to this session the better!! - Feel free to enquire about these in classes and jams before this session!
As always, we'll work in groups of 3+ people to ensure safe spotting and encourage you to try all roles, though if you'd rather stick to one role for this session we totally understand!
Bringing an acro cushion or yoga mat will be useful for this session!
