Floreio Art Workshop

Floreio Art is a movement modality using the principle of flow in order to create a form of acrobatic artistic expression, moving close to the ground while using every part of your body.
Floreio is an art form that allows advanced practitioners to create their own movements, sequences and find their individual flows, but while using a non conventional set of skills.
The practitioner will find himself on his hands, elbows, crawling close to the ground or spinning on his head.
Great improvement of strength, endurance, balance and mobility in an organic, unlimited and natural fashion is a guaranteed side effect of Floreio Art practice.
The creation of Floreio Art was influenced by many things – Capoeira, Acrobatics, Dance and Breakdancing, but in its purest sense, it is non of the above. Floreio Art was created and presented to the world by Ido Portal in 2009.
