Meet an Instructor Katelyn Ettinger

Katelyn is a tumbler and Acro teacher. Currently she is studying circus arts in Toronto, and is very excited to be the Acro and Contortion Coach for lab le jeu http://www.bravebody.com/

Training in flexibility/contortion, hand to hand balancing, and Acro takes obvious physical elements as well as concentration. I believe in building a good core foundation of strength and stability and a good understanding of your body's abilities and limits. Once you have the foundation you can start to add the element of performance. To be a performer requires you to be able to use your skills in a more creative way and hold an audiences attention. This building block technique allows students to start at the very beginning and through progressions, continue to be challenged to take their body and their skills to the next level.
