Acro Workshops 16. May!

Price range: 7.900 kr. through 11.800 kr.

Acro Workshops with Andrii Balykhin!

And now for something a little bit different! On May 16th, we will be holding acro workshops with professional acrobatics instructor and performer Andrii Balykhin. Andrii will be hosting two sessions, first a partner acro yoga class followed by a solo acro session focusing on inverts and handstands. Acrobatics pairs very well with pole and aerial training. It helps build upper body and shoulder strength, grip support muscles, core stability, and overall body control. Many pole and aerial students find that acro training improves their inversions, lines, balance, and confidence in upside-down positions. Mark your calendars and check out the workshop descriptions below!

Andrii Balykhin is a circus artist and acrobatics coach from Ukraine, currently based in Canada. He specializes in handstands, partner and floor acrobatics with several years of experience performing and teaching. He works with dancers, athletes, and aerial students, focusing on building strength, body awareness, and safe technical foundations. His teaching approach is structured and practical, helping students develop confidence and control in inversions, balances, and acrobatic skills.

Description

Partner Acro Workshop // 15:00 – 16:30

We will work on foundational partner acro elements such as:

  • Front Bird
  • Throne
  • Shoulder Stand on hands
  • Star variations
  • Basic washing machine transitions

I also share specific strength and positioning tips for bases, including which exercises best develop partner support strength, and technical cues for flyers to make balancing lighter, safer, and more efficient.

No previous experience is required, although it is definitely a plus.

Participants will enjoy the workshop most if they have:

  • basic body awareness and coordination
  • comfortable plank hold (around 30–45 seconds)
  • ability to support some bodyweight through the arms
  • no acute injuries affecting shoulders, wrists, or lower back

These are helpful but not mandatory, as I always adapt progressions to the group.

*1000kr discount per person for those registering in pairs! (Select the “Partner x2” option)

Solo Acro Workshop // 16:40 – 18:10

In this workshop, we will cover basic introductory acrobatics elements in a manner tailored toward pole and aerial practitioners (but open to everybody!) Examples of teaching material include

  •  Handstand and inversion foundations
  • Upper body and shoulder stability work
  • Core and balance training

Soft floor acrobatics and partner drills for body awareness.

All taught with a strong focus on technique and safety, and easily adaptable for pole and aerial students.
