Start your festival off with a fun take on some traditional L-basing!

Cascades are intimidating, especially for flyers diving towards their faces! In this class we'll start with smaller cascades, using supportive drills and clear progressions designed to make the skill feel safer, smoother, and more comfortable before building towards bigger movements. We'll build confidence, trust, and body awareness so flyers can work through the fear and bases can create a strong, supportive, and safe experience for everyone involved.

Pre-reqs: jump into reverse star, pop from bird to reverse star (with hands)

Off-kilter entries to challenge your coordination and partnership!

Pre-reqs: standing h2h (spotted is ok!), free 2high

Bring your cameras, bring your friends - it's picture time! Learn the smooth entries and dismounts behind some classically famous poses, and practice those smiles. Say cheese!

Are you good at dancing? Come add some lifts for flair! Are you bad at dancing? Hide it with cool lifts! This class will get you up in the air suavely and have you steal the spotlight.

Pre-reqs: walking around in shoulder bird

With a pinch of free balance fairy dust, you'll be flitting in and out of free mono star and off to Never Never Land in this challenging and spunky figure-8 washing machine.

Pre-reqs: free star presses, croc to reverse star

Two bases means a whole octopus worth of limbs to fly on! Hone your communication and precision in a larger group by 50% than usual, and explore some unique transitions and movements that just aren't quite the same on only one base. Mids and flyers, this is a great chance to practice some basing!

Join Ash for cozy vibes and crafty crafts! There will be painting, sewing, and more. Some supplies and machines will be available to share.

Pre-reqs: craftiness

A fun L-base flow with options for walking or popping each transition. Options for not sassing your partner will not be provided. Expect to learn both banter and L-basing honed over many years of partnership.

L-base flowing that'll have you twisting up, down, and around. Options to pop to H2H as well as non-popping/star alternatives.

Pre-reqs: shoulderstand to back plank, corkscrew and pickpocket (or similar washing machines)

Every move is a performance! Enter and exit each pose with flamboyance, hit each mark with poise, and dazzle your spotters.

What has three heads and doesn't guard the Philosopher's Stone?  It's these three! With only a base/flyer pair, much of standing acro can be rigid and static. But with a third thrown in the mix, a whole world of possibility opens up. Come explore a slice of that world as we mid our way through poses and perambulations.

Pre-reqs: standing shoulderstand (spotted entry ok)

Nerd out on the technique of Icarian through the lens of tempo pops. We'll sharpen our understandings of stack, co-created tension, and transferability of skills.

Hijinks and tomfoolery encouraged.

Pre-reqs: 2high, high side star

Recharge your body after a full day of acro! Rachel's refresher will regale you with restful rhythms to rejuvenate and relax.

Expect a mix of smooth, connected movement with bed pops that add energy, timing, and surprise to your washing machines. We'll play with creative transitions and satisfying flows that still feel comfortable and accessible. Whether you love seamless movement or want to start adding more flair into your machines, this class is guaranteed to keep everyone moving, laughing, and having a blast.

Pre-reqs: basic washing machines (e.g., pickpocket, ninja star) and basic pops (e.g., straight throws)
