Join us to experience acro as an interface for physical connection The word “acro” is derived from the Greek akros, meaning “extremities” – parts of the human body that we use as an interface to connect with the physical world. With this weekly recurring gathering, we will dive into a playful exploration of physics by utilizing our akros. We will interact with a diverse set of props like balls, sticks and ropes to explore finding balance, giving and receiving forces and momentum. Help create a new acro vocabulary that is relatable and hence accessible by everyone Imagine exploring  foot to foot  not just as foot on foot but vertically stacked and aligned bodies in any way that is your own. This gathering is an invitation to explore what lies beyond the body-centric acroyoga jargon, and break free from acro poses and patterns! An opportunity to craft an acro practice that is open to all, where a unifying vocabulary rooted in physics empowers our moves and connects diverse bodies in magical ways. Share your movement story during our  movement potluck  style warm-ups, witness the group translate it to their own bodies through playful exploration. Share your discoveries with the group during our choreo exercises and celebrate the joy of acro's boundless language created by everyone in the room. Bring it all the awe and excitement we generate together back to the ground with a partner massage at the end. This event blends into the second event, Acro Explorations. The Foundations and the Explorations are independent from each other so one can choose to attend one or the other or both. Participants can join the events solo, partnered or as a group. They are free to stay solo, partnered or within their pod, or change partners during the class or form new groups of more than two bodies. Join us, unite in curiosity, and move together! Price for event: $30 Early Bird, $35 day of Schedule 730pm - 930pm Bio Kadir is a San Francisco based emerging performing artist offering weekly acro classes at Center SF and Menlo Park Academy of Dance. Kadir has had an unconventional history of training in acro. Kadir's acro journey began 15 years ago when he met his first acro partner in 2008, a Japanese humanoid robot called CB2, also known as the world's creepiest robot. Kadir was tasked with developing software so that the robot could get up from the ground when a human partner pulled it by its arms, and balance with them. While working on this project, Kadir unknowingly wrote source code that laid the foundation for his acro practice. In 2015, Kadir co-organized a 3-day yoga festival on the college campus with over 1,000 participants. There were no acro classes in Turkey at the time, so Kadir ended up teaching a series of acroyoga workshops before he took any acro classes himself. Kadir was born in Istanbul, the beautiful city that gave San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge its name. In 2016, he immigrated to SF. Since then, he has helped facilitate weekly acroyoga classes and offered workshops at various locations in the city, including Aerial Artique, SF Pole & Dance, Bay JiuJitsu, Yoga Tree and Yogaworks. In the last 5 years, Kadir has been offered scholarships to train with Axis Dance Company and Pilobolus Dance Company as he continued his search for an acro practice that is equally accessible for people of all minds and all bodies. Kadir is excited for the Center’s invitation to share and grow this practice with the community. ** no refunds or exchanges are available for this event - you can sell or gift your ticket to a friend**

Alcatraz Island

Night Attractions

一數

Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. General tourists will not go to this attraction specially, because we are free to travel and can be more relaxed. The park environment design is unparalleled and worth checking in for sightseeing.

Lombard Street

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco.

Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road.

If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain.

Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver&#39;s license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.
