TEACHING STAFF:

ACROSUPERHEROES

Canadian-born Danya and Russian-born Hobs share a deep love for movement, playfulness and interacting with people. They met each other in the US and have practiced Acro extensively together ever since, including attending the first Acro Revolution teacher training in 2014. Currently they are full-time travelling Acro teachers, teaching major events nearly every week. They are nomadic, living a life of sharing their practice with as many communities as they can get their hands on. In 2015 alone they taught in over 50 cities!

They believe that Acro is a wonderful way for people to connect to themselves and to playfully interact with others.They share a deep passion for teaching, facilitating, co-creating, learning and playing Acro in all of its wonderful forms. One of their strongest beliefs is that in Acro, as in life, things are best when the movements are co-created by base and flyer, and they love teaching to that philosophy. They firmly believe that everyone has an inner Acro Superhero just waiting to be unleashed, and want to help you unleash yours!
