Happy Birthday @acrotiffi ! Your never cease to impress and inspire us with everything that you do. Here @arthurdavis3 and Tiffani spice up a handstand tower prepared by @theupsidedownlife and myself. This skill is also known as teepee. #acroarmy #elegantacro (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)

It is often the case as a teacher or student, that if you have something new and acrobatic verbally explained to you, it's a bit like hearing a foreign language. You get the general sense of it but you've got to get it in your body or see it to really make sense of it. Even though I know this will be a building block for many skills to come, I love that @shortneyb and I were able to get our brains wrapped around this skill with @arthurdavis3 coaching and guiding. What I love about this board is the precise fine-tuning that is needed from all parties involved to make it just right. #elegantacro #acroarmy (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)

What a delight to have @aerialdancermari back to @acroarmy training. You know when Tari and Mari come together, we form Tamari - and the secret sauce is chef @arthurdavis3 cooking up all manner of things Sports Acro in the Realis kitchen. Despite my somewhat apathetic look I'm actually over the moon that we got this, so listen with sound and enjoy a little Panjabi MC to balance it all out. I love this skill! #elegantacro #acroarmy (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)

Consistency Part Deux: 8 Reverse Up's with dismount at the end to INXS. A soundtrack in the background put down by DJ Renato reminds me of the days when I used to dance and teach hip hop. Miss @shortneyb and I have found ourselves working together here and there and things are going quite well! It's a constant cleaning and refining process to make it just right for @arthurdavis3 during our @acroarmy training. Amazing things are about to spill over. #elegantacro #acroarmy (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)

Though beautiful to see, it's nice to move poses beyond the static hold and into something more dynamic or fluid. Here's an exploration of air walking, incredible leg and back movement and drags with super top @megan_vongoose during @acroarmy training with @arthurdavis3 in Redlands. There's something special about flipping a person up from their back, or cannonball into handstand that I find so attractive and when done right it feels amazing and easy. I can't wait to dial in all of these skills until they are effortless with everyone. #elegantacro #acroarmy (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)

The more we are around people that help us grow the better we get. A year ago I wasn't regularly around anyone who could hold someone up with one arm except for elite performers and cheerleaders, but now several people can. So I had to document my first time as a starting place. Naturally the version before videotaping was much cleaner and much longer but here we have a brief moment in time with someone who makes it easy, @shortneyb followed by a clean reverse up to celebrate during @acroarmy training. One arm high hand to hand here I come! #elegantacro #acroarmy (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)

Flip the script and watch some double basing with the mighty @ericalinz on top and my new friend Xavier. @AcroArmy preparations are getting more and more streamlined every day. #elegantacro #acroarmy (at Realis Gymnastics Academy Redlands)
