Welcome everyone !!

Prerequisites

All workshops will be multilevel, ensuring that everyone will be able to find the right challenge and support. However, the intensive is not suitable for complete beginners. You should have done a couple classes and be familiar with basic positions of acro. Some familiarity with pops is recommended and we encourage practicing some flows in the weeks leading up to the intensive.
