Conditions of participation

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. Teenagers with long hair should have a hair tie with them.

She spent two years on the road as an artist with Zirkus Chnopf and has been teaching circus and movement to children and teenagers ever since. She teaches children the art of circus in an encouraging and motivating way. When she is not teaching, she tours Europe with her own clown duo or walks through the woods of Zurich with her dog.
