    Great introduction to acrobatic tricks!

    I have started the course a few weeks ago and I really enjoy it. Mari is a very good teacher and explains every movement so you can understand what you have to do in order to get the trick. Depending on your previous experience and strenght, it can take you way more than 6 weeks to get through the course!
