The programme
Full-time weeks with qualified teachers and the same group of people. That continuity builds what a weekend convention cannot.
Why full time
As your acro grows, every group of skills needs more time. Training full time with a consistent group creates a learning environment you cannot get any other way.
We recommend the whole programme: the biggest changes in skill and strength usually show after the first few weeks. If you cannot stay that long, come for fewer weeks.
What tuition covers
Included
- Training in the gym, Monday to Friday
- One 30-minute private lesson per duo, every week
Not included
- Food – the gym café serves coffee, sandwiches, soups, cakes and pastries; most students buy lunch there
- Accommodation – students usually share holiday rentals near the gym
What to expect
Acro. Progressions. Communication strategies. Spotting techniques. Time to polish skills. New friends, inside jokes, and doing things you never thought possible.
If you have trained full time before, you know the drill. If not, expect moments of pure joy next to days when you step back and rebuild a skill you did easily the day before. Weeks of full-time training add up: put in the work, reap the benefits, enjoy the ride.

Two lines
Every student joins one of two lines of workshops.
Main line
Main lineFor acrobats with a standing hand to hand. It does not have to be perfect – it is the one prerequisite that matters most.
Advanced line
Advanced lineFor acrobats already working on podsechka, extended H2H and F2H, toe pitches and tempos.
What we train
Standing acro, static and dynamic. A few of the skills on the mats:

F2H extendedthe flyer stands in the base's hands overhead

Where we train
LEAP trains at Jojo Gym in Dobřichovice, on the edge of Prague: a new hall with lunges, crash mats and a café for coffee, snacks and lunch.
The train station is close to the gym and the line runs to Prague. Most students stay a short walk, ride or drive away. Dobřichovice is a small village with a river, a fine footbridge and several good restaurants.
Teachers
Visiting duos lead the workshops, two every week. We will announce the duos for LEAP 2027 soon.
Organiser
Anežka Rabas
Anežka left nuclear physics for acrobatics. She founded Prague Acro School, where she teaches courses and workshops, and is part of the Czech Acro Convention committee. She trained in the nine-week programme of the Pitch Catch Circus School of Acrobatics in the USA – and built LEAP from that experience, for the growing need for advanced partner acrobatics teaching in Europe.
