The world's largest partner acrobatics resource — thousands of moves from acro practitioners worldwide, arranged alphabetically and as best-of lists so they're easy to find. Browse acro videos, Patreon tutorials, an events calendar, and more.
The two rows at the top are the whole site: a small grey row for the site (Coaching, Lessons, Events, Links, About) and the black row for the acro (Washing Machines, Dance Lifts, Pops, Whips, Icarian, Standing, Partner Flow, All Moves). Only one chip is open at a time. The home page opens on the washing machines: Washing Machines › #-Z › #, with that list under the bar. Tap a chip to open it (it turns black); tap the black chip again to close it. Every list has its own address (for example /machines-m for the M washing machines), so you can bookmark or share any list. The search box searches every move name on the site. Names you have already watched are ticked; that memory lives in your browser only.
Tap a move name to play its video in place. Videos that Instagram will not embed open on Instagram instead.
Under Washing Machines: All Washing Machines, the #-Z letter lists, the Best lists, the Group machines (1 base 2 flyers, 2 base 1 flyer, 2 base 2 flyers, misc, and Group Supine — conveyer belts, rolls and boxes where the bases lie on the ground), Symmetrical, OG Machines, Tick Tocks and Random Washing Machine. Every list is alphabetical by name. A symmetrical washing machine mirrors the same flow on both sides. Each list includes moves from Jacob and acro practitioners worldwide. Where more than one version of the same move exists, the oldest is linked to credit the original creators.
All Washing Machines is every washing machine on the site in one list, built from the same data as the rest of the site so it is never out of date. It is A to Z until you tap Chronological (by the date the video was posted, newest first, with a row of years to jump to) or By Posted By (grouped by who posted the video, most videos first, with a row of the top accounts and a More button). Tap the black chip again to go back to A to Z.
Random Washing Machine picks one machine at random and plays it. Tap "Another one" for the next.
Every move on the site — washing machines, dance lifts, whips, pops and icarian, standing and partner flow — in one list with the same three views: A to Z, Chronological and By Posted By. Random Move picks from every list on the site. Newly Added to Site and Needed live here too.
Every move added to this site in the last 90 days — washing machines, dance lifts, icarian and whips, standing and more — grouped by type and alphabetical within each. "Added" means when it went on the site, not when the video was posted. Each name plays its video. Moves fall off this list on their own once they are older than 90 days.
These moves used to be on the site with a link that turned out to be wrong, or whose video has since disappeared. I'm looking for the moves listed there, and for any other move missing from this site. If you know where a video of one of them lives — yours or anyone's — please email me the link and I will put the move back on its page.
Calendar is the Acro Insiders public events feed. Jacob's Current Events are the festivals and workshops I am teaching at or attending next. Jacob's Past Events is everything that was on my Google Calendar — not exhaustive.
