  • Day 1 - L Basing


  • Today is about refining your movement, enhancing your awareness, and strengthening your ability to work seamlessly with a partner. You’ll develop a deeper understanding of weight distribution, alignment, and controlled transitions, allowing you to move with efficiency and precision. Whether you’re honing your technique or reinforcing fundamental principles, this session will challenge you to refine your body mechanics, improve communication, and build trust in every role—basing, flying, and spotting. By the end of the day, you'll have a stronger foundation for fluid, dynamic movement and a deeper appreciation for the artistry and technique behind Acro.

  • We’ll start the day with fun and interactive games to help you connect with your training partners, warm up your body, and build trust. These exercises will improve your coordination, communication, and awareness—important skills for any Acro practice. Plus, after you finish this teacher training, you’ll have these games as useful tools to bring into your own classes, helping you create a fun and supportive learning environment for your students

  • This session will focus on long holds to build endurance, alignment, and control. Everyone will rotate through all three roles—basing, flying, and spotting—to fully understand each perspective and how they work together. By experiencing each role, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the balance, engagement, and communication needed for smooth transitions and stability. The holds will be practiced in Bird, Reverse Plank, Side Star, Star, and Reverse Star, reinforcing strength, precision, and trust in both your movement and your partners.

  • Here, we dive into the shifts, movements, and biomechanics that make Acro fluid and controlled. This session focuses on giving and receiving weight, absorbing impact, and refining alignment to create stability and ease in transitions. Revisiting the poses from conditioning, we’ll explore different entrances, exits, and movement variations tailored to beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. For experienced practitioners, this is a chance to refine efficiency and expand movement possibilities, while newer students will build a strong technical foundation. Since this is a teacher training, you’ll also learn how to guide others, hold space, and recognize the edges of progression, ensuring a balance between challenge and safety. By the end, you’ll have a deeper understanding of weight transfer, balance, and movement flow, enhancing both your own practice and your ability to teach.

  • There will be a 90-minute lunch break, giving participants plenty of time to rest, recharge, and refuel. There are local restaurants and a coffee shop nearby, and for convenience, Vancouver offers Uber Eats for food delivery. Participants are also welcome to bring their own lunch and enjoy a relaxed break before the afternoon session begins.

  • Washing machines are seamless, repeating Acro sequences that blend movement, momentum, and control. Some are iconic and recognized worldwide, while others are VanCityAcro specialties. In this session, you’ll break down structure, refine transitions, and explore creative variations to improve flow and efficiency. It’s a time to play, experiment, and deepen your understanding of how movements connect, helping you move with confidence and adaptability.

  • we shift to Teaching & Partner Work, where you’ll practice guiding others through fundamental movements. Working in small groups, you’ll gain hands-on experience in teaching, spotting, and refining technique, building confidence in both your practice and instruction. This is where your learning takes on an interactive, leadership-focused approach, helping you develop communication and coaching skills that will support you throughout your Acro journey.

  • we come together for a closing discussion and reflection. This is an opportunity to share insights, ask questions, and celebrate your progress on the first day of training.
