Partner acrobatics
I just took my first partner acrobatics workshop yesterday and I LOVED it! Does anybody know of any good websites/video links my partner and I could use to teach ourselves more moves? It's not offered as a regular class at my studio and I've had a hard time finding videos we can follow (that show the whole process of getting into a move or that show some basic/intermediate moves). Here's a decent example of what I'm talking about, although most of this is too advanced for us at the moment since we only just started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkNLX1T7VsI&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLygDn90LShvQoHsnrvlCrvA
I don't know if there are standardized names for this stuff, but (using our instructors' terms) so far we can do basic front/back flying, basic back flying (head to tail while base holds flyer's ankles), crab stacks, titanic (facing away and facing each other), shoulder sit, and we know how to get into a shoulder stand but we haven't tried it on each other yet for safety reasons…

Here, maybe this helps:

In chapter 6: "hand to hand" I believe is what you're looking for. There are lots of moves and a small explanation for each one. No idea about the difficulty though 🙂

I hear a lot of people calling it acro yoga

Acro yoga is actually different than partner acro. Acro yoga is actually assisted yoga positions specifically, typically with a lot of L-basing and a healing arts aspect, sometimes Thai massage. There is a dance/performance aspect to it as well sometimes. Partner Acro is more of a sports acrobatic discipline with no real influence from yoga and any healing arts, mostly a gymnastic influence. There is a lot of overlap for sure, but they are two different disciplines.
