Reno and Sariah’s “friendship” was born from when they found each other 8 years ago at an acro jam in Sariah’s backyard. Ever since then they have been training, playing, creating, and bickering together as The Handstand Nation. It wasn’t until a 23andMe test just a few years ago that proved Sariah’s nagging hunch – they are distant relatives, tracing their heritage back to Gormanistan – a country with deep roots in acro and rich in cynicism. Just proves you can’t teach their kind of chemistry. You’re either born with it or you’re faking it. As proportionally strong mid-sized acrobats, they trade off roles of base/flyer often, and enjoy mixing L-base, standing, and creative movements into their acro. They teach as fast and live fast – you’re sure to get a lot of acro in from their classes, and they value playfulness more than boring, rigorous “training.” Reno and Sariah are based out of Sacramento CA.
