Who Is It For?

Beginners

The North is famously friendly, and we're ready to welcome you with open arms!

Whether you're completely new to acrobatics or have only tried a little, come along and give it a go. There will always be workshops suitable for beginners, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn, explore and build confidence in a supportive environment.

Intermediates

Get ready for plenty of fun, challenges and variety!

We'll be offering both standing and L-base options in every workshop round, with opportunities to learn exciting new skills, develop your technique and push your abilities further.

We'll also be sharing drills and exercises you can take home to help you master those higher-level fundamentals and keep progressing long after the weekend.

Advanced

Don't worry, you won't be sitting around twiddling your thumbs!

We're bringing together some fantastic high-level teachers who will challenge you, introduce new techniques and keep you on your toes (or hands, feet, or whichever body part you happen to be balancing on!).

And if a particular workshop doesn't take your fancy, there'll be space available to jam, train independently and explore your own skills.

The venue is conveniently located around a 15-minute walk from Leeds Train Station, making it easy to reach whether you're staying locally or travelling from further afield.

We recommend booking your accommodation in advance.
