Would you like to learn acrobatics the dance way? Dance acro is no longer just about wheels, rolls and handstands, but about learning countless variations of them and putting them together choreographically. You learn many acrobatic tricks, how to put them together and how to dance with them. A mix of acrobatics, floorwork and breakdancing. No previous experience necessary, the only requirement is that you enjoy moving!

Clothing: Comfortable sportswear. Socks or barefoot. In the winter months we recommend long training clothes for before and after the course. Young people with long hair should have a hair tie with them.

Luisa Schmitz was born in Zurich and works as a dancer, choreographer, coach and dance teacher. She completed her bachelor’s degree in stage dance and choreography at the Fontys Hoogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg (NL). For the last two years, she has been on the road with the Chnopf circus as an artist and has been teaching circus and movement to children and young people ever since. She teaches children the art of circus in an encouraging and motivating way. When she’s not teaching, she tours Europe with her own clown duo or walks her dog through the forests of Zurich.
