Tickets available now! More details coming soon!


We’re excited to offer a weekend workshop with Sam and Luka this January! Expect to focus on tricky L-base flows, hands-free balances that evolve into hands-free transitions, and training techniques you’ll take home and use long after the workshop is over.


Our guest instructors

Sam Courts and Luka Ruzic are Seattle based teachers and acrobats with two decades of combined partner acro experience. Drawing from their mixed movement backgrounds (from gymnastics to climbing, lifting to martial arts), and their science and engineering professional backgrounds, they’re known for their detailed, technical understanding and methodical approach to training. They particularly specialize in challenging creative L-base flow, handsfree acro, and f2h/h2h.


Location

This workshop is hosted in San Francisco at Zaccho Dance Theatre. The venue provides plenty of space, gymnastics mats on a sprung floor, and free street parking.
