About LEAP
LEAP is a place for dedicated acrobats to train with the guidance of qualified teachers and the support of their fellow students over 5 weeks. Simply put, training full time with a consistent group of people creates a learning environment that can’t be achieved any other way. As your skill level in acro increases, more time is needed to train specific groups of skills, and LEAP is the perfect place to do just that.
We highly recommend attending the whole programme. Generally speaking, we see dramatic transformations in skill level and strength around 4 weeks into the programme. We do recognize that many people do not have the time or resources to come for longer, so we also offer options for shorter stays.
What does tuition at LEAP get me?
Tuition for LEAP covers training in the gym Monday through Friday, as well as one 30 minute private lesson per week (per couple).
It does not include food or accommodation. There is a cafe in the gym with coffee, sandwiches, soups, and an assortment of cakes and pastries. It is a popular option to buy lunch there. Students generally group together and live in vacation rentals.
What to expect at LEAP
Acro! Progressions! Communication strategies! Spotting techniques! Time to polish skills! New friends! Inside jokes! Doing things you never thought possible!
LEAP is a lot of things! If you have been to LEAP before or have trained acrobatics full time, you know the drill. If this is something that is new to you, expect moments of pure joy and excitement juxtaposed against moments where you need to take a step back and work on some progressions for the skill you could easily do the day before. 5 weeks is a lot of training, so expect to put in some hard work, reap the benefits, and have a blast along the way!
A day at LEAP
Every day starts with a warm up and handstand training. This is followed by acro calibrations, the morning workshop, lunch, and afternoon workshop, and typically some free training time. For more information about the schedule see Schedule and Fees.
Where do we train?
LEAP is located in Dobřichovice on the outskirts of Prague. There is a train station close to the Gym and the train line runs to Prague. Most students stay within a short drive, bikeride, or walk from the gym. It’s a pretty cute village! There is a river, a top notch walking bridge, and several good restaurants around.
At LEAP, we train in Jojo Gym, a quite new facility fully equipped with longes, crash mats, and of course the cafe offering coffee, snacks, and lunches.
