ACRiX Instructor Training Course
ACRiX Program Description:
The new ACRiX Program (Applied Circus: Radically Extreme), falling under the Youth CanMove initiative, aims to get youth more active in the sport of gymnastics.
ACRiX merges Circus Arts and Gymnastics into seasonal programs that can be put into place within schools, community centers, gymnastics clubs and neighbourhood houses. The goal of this program is to provide unique opportunities to disadvantaged youth and to offer sustainability in the program by training the youth in the classes to become ACRiX and gymnastics instructors.
Some of the skills presented within the program include acrobalancing, juggling and object manipulation, with equipment such as balls, rings, clubs, flowersticks and diabolos.
