SUMMARY OF THE ACTIVITY

PHOTOS AND VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE

Jumping stilts have a unique feature: they are spring-loaded. The goal is simple: to trampoline freely, anywhere. It's time to try out this new urban sport!

The jumping stilts workshops are supervised by a team of specialized instructors. We offer three packages below, which adapt both to leisure centers and large public events. Each participant leaving the workshop receives a certificate reflecting their skills.

COMPOSITION AND DURATION

3 PACKAGES:

1 - INTRODUCTORY PACKAGE:

Description: Every person at the event can try out this new sport in a designated area. The future stilt walker equips protective gear and listens to instructions. They are accompanied until autonomous (just a few minutes) and then practice freely for 10 to 15 minutes depending on wait times. This activity can be held outdoors or indoors with up to 20 jumping stilts on site.

Participants leave with a certificate indicating their new skills!

Minimum age: 7 years

Practice time: approximately 10 to 15 minutes

Duration and capacity: - Half day (4h): open workshop for ages 7 to 70, no registration required, up to 150 participants

- Full day (8h): open workshop for ages 7 to 70, no registration required, up to 300 participants

Number of instructors: 2 instructors

Attire: closed shoes required (flip-flops, Crocs, sandals not allowed)

We can double the workshop to double the participant capacity.

2 - INITIATION PACKAGE:

Description: The initiation is an educational and fun course. The goal is to allow participants to master jumping stilts perfectly. Our instructors teach the basic techniques through exercises, then refine skills with mini-games. The idea is to create an activity resembling a large collective game, not a formal class. This activity can be held outdoors or indoors.

3 - ADVANCED PACKAGE / CREATION OF A ROUTINE:

Description: The advanced workshop aims to help future stilt walkers become skilled after discovering this new sport. It starts with the same first course as the initiation package. Then, two options are possible:

- Routine creation: participants work collectively with instructors to create an artistic routine. Strengthening group cohesion, they discover the hidden side of performance (music choices, costume design, stage setup, ...). An acrobatic stilt walker will act as the conductor during the routine to showcase acrobatic possibilities. For example, the routine can be presented to an audience at the end of the workshop. It is recommended to schedule these sessions over several consecutive days.

- Advanced training: each day, participants learn new skills to become true acrobats.
