Teachers 2024- VII Edition.

Fifi Rosenblat & Fernando Melki

We are very excited to have some very special guests this year, two great humans and professional acrobats with a refined and precise teaching style that is fun and close at the same time.


Fifi Rosenblat: ex gymnast, trained at the Carampa circus school in Madrid in 2014. Specialized in partner acrobatics. She has been teaching acro for more than 7 years and worked for Circus companies such as Faltan 7 and Circ Cric.


Fer Melki: trained at the Circo Criollo school in Buenos Aires Argentina in 2000 in the specialty of partner acrobatics. He has 15 years of experience as a teacher. He is currently a teacher at the Rogelio Rivel Circus School in Barcelona and teaches at international events.

As a duo, Fer and Fifi began training together and teaching hand-to-hand classes 6 years ago. Their specialties are static balances (one arm, mono foot to hand and different types of turns on one hand) and dynamic balances in duo and groups (courvertte, cascade, hand spring, somersaults, different hand-to-hand and hand-foot climbs, etc.)

Clara & Lidiya

We are very happy to announce that we have our friends and incredible teachers Clara & Lidiya coming for this edition of the Granada Acrobatic convention. This duo of two girls have been involved in the acro scene since we started, they have been helping to promote the acro practice and build the community in Barcelona. Together they have beautiful and amazing creative flows and other cool stuffs.

Clara and Lidiya have been teaching weekly Acroyoga classes and workshops together in Barcelona since 2017. They specialize in fun and challenging Acroyoga flows and washing machines that include creative elements. As a same size duo they utilize technique to execute challenging flows and share this knowledge with their students to make demanding flows feasible for both beginner and intermediate practitioners. They are patient and supportive teachers who are dedicated to sharing their passion for Acroyoga in a safe manner.

Clara likes to switch roles and practices both as a base and flyer, which allows her to master the techniques of both and makes her a very knowledgeable teacher. In 2017 she completed the Partner Acrobatics training and later the Family Acroyoga training.

Lidiya started practicing Acroyoga in her thirties without previous gymnastics or yoga experience and excels at helping adults get started and grow in their Acroyoga practice. She completed an Acroyoga teacher training with Partner Acrobatics in 2016 and with VanCity Acro in 2018. Her goal is to help other people find the same happiness and self-empowerment that she has experienced through this practice.
