ABOUT
PROGRESSIVE PARTNER ACROBATICS
PPA
is an umbrella organization for a variety of programs that offer partner and group acrobatic training from Foundational L basing to Dynamic Standing Acrobatics.
We approach the learning and teaching of acrobatics through a holistic training methodology, catering to both recreational and professional acrobats. We offer acro intensives that serve various levels of practitioner, a handstand intensive, an Icarian-focused intensive, and an Acro Educators Training Program. Our experienced coaches approach teaching through a detail oriented lens with an emphasis on process and personal skill building. We are honored to become a guiding hand on your acrobatic journey.
PPA’s MISSION
PPA’s mission is to make partner acrobatics fun, empowering, inclusive and accessible by providing high quality instruction to novice and experienced practitioners. The ethos of this training program centers around the learning process. We guide students toward developing skills that feel comfortable and connected. We value taking time and reps to build up connection, alignment, and timing with our training partners, We think taking steps back when needed, and building up efficiency in our pathways as bases and flyers is normal within the learning process.
A concurrent goal of PPA is to empower qualified students to strengthen their solo practices to bring to their partnership and/or group. We believe that the more confidence we have in our own strength, movement patterns, and mobility the better our acro will feel. We work with personal trainers to offer supportive community to acrobats at any level.
Alongside the physical training components of our programming, community building and community development is at the heart of what we do. Take a look around this site to see other programs, trainers, movement therapists we collaborate with.
PPA Fellowships
Fostering an inclusive space is an important component of PPA’s mission. We want to be part of the change in the world of circus and acrobatics by building up a diverse community of movers.
