Airtime Acrobatics 2024
October 7 @ 8:00 am - October 25 @ 5:00 pm
>>> Welcome to Airtime!!! <<<
Airtime Acrobatics is offering a 3-week long acrobatics program in October 2024 in Mannheim Germany.
We provide a circus school training structure which contains a mix of high-intensity, technical classes alongside creative and fun classes – to give everyone the chance to both work hard on their technique and discover their own style in the world of acrobatics.
There is always space for free training with some teachers to help you individually.
Every day has multiple classes for different levels and interests which will orientate to the wishes of the participants. Every week contains around 37 hours of standing acrobatics, Icarian games, tumbling, handstands, strength and flexibility classes.
The team consists of professional acrobats with many years of experience as both performers and teachers. They have much experience in taking tricks out of line, training towards goals – not only training strict technique, but adding creative work and transitions into tricks.
Next to the physical part. It is important to us to also share our experience in dealing with injuries and how to deal with bad days. We’ll help you design your own training to achieve the goals you set – sharing knowledge of strength training, recovery and mindset.
People talk a lot about safety and spotting… We will practice!!! There will be regular high level spotting – training and specific sessions, where you practice to train in a ‘high stakes’ environment with the full focus of everyone.
The program is designed to help you in your process, no matter how long you are staying. Of course you will get the most out of it, if you stay for all four weeks. But we know this is not possible for everyone, so we designed the program so that there are progressions during a week and even greater progression during the whole program!

The program takes place at Circus Paletti in Mannheim Germany. The circus-gym is 600 m² large, full of mats, longes and other things which makes us acrobats happy.
There is also a 450 m² large circus tent for the late afternoon, so everyone can stretch, hang out, or train a bit longer.
We also have our “Airtime Cafe” for coffee and lunch breaks, and to hang out in case you need a rest. This Cafe can also be used in case you need a space to work on your laptop during the program times (we get WiFi).
UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN’T PROVIDE ACCOMMODATION OR FOOD FOR THIS EVENT, but you get a link to a discord server were we help you to find each other and find the right housing.
