Acrobatics Learning Resource
About
Where are all the tutorial and instructional manual for partner acrobatics? Gymnastics has gmb.io/ and www.gymnasticbodies.com/ but haven't found anything similar for partner acrobatics. This intends to be that resource.
Instructions
You can use menu in upper right corner or hamburger in the upper left corner (depending on device/size) to navigate the site.
Note that while the site is under construction lot of videos are just demonstration of moves to make it clear what the move is. Later on they will be replaced by instructional videos.
Scope
Various types of partner acrobatics will be covered here, generally on recreational levels, starting from somewhat athletic beginners to intermediate practitioners. This resource focuses on pair partner acrobatics, i.e. mostly two people when one is able to lift the other.
Acrobatics styles partially covered follow.
Acrobatic gymnastics
Acrobatic rock and roll
Adagio (dance) partner acrobatics
Acro yoga a.k.a. L-basing
Cheerleading (the acrobatics)
