Emerald City Acro Intensive
This intensive group and standing partner acrobatics training experience is designed for dedicated practitioners to build their skills during 8 days of focused, goal-driven training!

Multiple progressive workshop tracks from beginner to advanced will allow participants to deepen their practice in specific areas such as dance lifts, dynamic partner skills, hand-to-hand, banquine, injury prevention, and more. Rather than simply learning isolated tricks, this experience supports long-term growth through structured training, personalized feedback, and a collaborative environment with world-renowned coaches.

DATES:
June 28-July 6 (~9am-6pm)
There will be time for lunch and breaks, and July 2 + 4 will both be half-days.

IMPORTANT: If you are interested in this intensive but cannot attend the full program, please indicate that in your response on the final question. Priority will be given to participants looking to attend the full program.

Part-time attendance: We are allowing partial attendance for the first half only (June 28-July 1) of the program. Only pairs or bases may apply for partial attendance at this time.

IMPORTANT: This program was designed to build over time, both in skills and group dynamics. While we understand scheduling conflicts happen, we can’t guarantee the same level of support or experience as one would experience for the full duration of the commitment. 

FLYERS: We currently have a wait-list for flyers to attend the program. If you would like to be admitted without a wait, please apply as a flyer-base pair (each person will need to submit a separate application and list the name of the person they are applying with).

To create a balanced learning environment, please note we will be aiming for a 60/40 or 50/50 base/flyer ratio in the workshop.

Mids: If you identify as a mid (meaning someone who can be both a base and flyer at the skill level required for this intensive) AND you would like to base/fly equally, indicate that in the next question. Otherwise, if you are willing to mostly base, indicate 'base' here; if you would like to primarily fly, indicate 'flyer' here.)

*Please note that if we have more flyer than base applications, being willing to base most of the time may increase your chance of being accepted.
Do you identify as a mid (or have a desire to learn how to mid)? *
Are you signing up with a partner? If yes, please write that person's name below. If no, please write NO. 
We encourage advanced acrobats to come with a partner or someone you plan to train with to ensure calibration.
