Your first visit

First step: Book a session of AlmanAcro through the Book a session link on its page, or fill in the Airtable sign-up form on the Almanac site to join a free Helpful Hints workshop..

What to expect
AlmanAcro runs for two hours and starts with a warm-up, then skill practice, partner and group work, open training, and a short group creative exercise. It is aimed at performers who want to learn bases, flying and tumbling, and at acrobats who want more ease with performing and improvising. The Helpful Hints workshops are free sessions that pair older and younger people to build short duets together.
