BIO ACRO BART (NL)
With acrobats for parents, Bart has done acrobatics for as long as he can remember. He began training under professional acrobatics trainers when he was 16. He has performed in various shows in the Netherlands, Germany, France, and more.
He holds regular acrobatic classes in his home town, teaches at acrobatic conventions and festivals, and gives workshops across Europe, the US, Israel, and Russia. He also organizes acrobatics conventions such as the well-known Acrobatic New Year Convention in the Netherlands.
Besides, he holds a Masters in molecular life sciences and worked in a hospital, but his heart was always with acrobatics. His teaching ethos is that everyone should have fun. He finds it equally important to recognize what works in a trick, as well as pointing out what could use a little ‘improvement’.
