This year we&#8217;re also introducing a community contribution: anyone who wishes can voluntarily add a small amount when paying their registration fee. The money we collect will go towards acrobats who face additional financial barriers.<\/p>\n<h2>REGISTERING FOR ACRO-BAD?<\/h2>\n<p>Acro-bad classes are technical classes focused on building a solid foundation.
