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**

Museums

Science & technology museums

It is a very worthwhile place to visit. I wonder why domestic museums cannot be like this, focusing on knowledge acquisition, without the messy rings, children&#39;s electric cars, and &quot;Dad&#39;s dad is grandpa&quot;

Golden Gate Park

Family-friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Golden Gate Bridge

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
