Andrew Romanosky


One night Andrew was bored doing virus scans on student laptops at the St. Bonaventure help desk. He discovered a dollar store yoyo on a desk. Out of boredom he learned a couple tricks and became progressively more engrossed in the world of yoyo (and consequently kendama and juggling). 5 years later and he's pretty alright.

Michael

Michael has been exploring movement arts for 3.5 years. He started his journey with Poi. Since then, he has applied his knowledge to many props like Contact Staff, Rope Dart, Three-Section-Staff, Fire Breathing, & Club Manipulation. His unique approach to movement education focuses on body mechanics to create foundations to explore, versus, trick sets.
