For 29 years, Rob Li has been immersed in the world of acrobatics and cheer while sharing his knowledge and extensive experience with people of movement. After being a cheerleader for Drexel University, the Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Team, and the Philadelphia 76ers NBA Team, he coached the co-ed cheerleading team at Temple University and has taught Acro at various festivals and workshops across the US, South Africa, Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan.
His enthusiasm and passion for acrobatics have driven him to create various programs and events. He collaborated with Aqua Vida to introduce SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboard) Acro in Philadelphia and has developed Pole Acro and Aerial Acro Workshops. You may have seen him on stage at various competitions, choreographing Acro Dance flows, or performing at multiple venues.
Rob has organized numerous acro workshops and co-hosted Acro Intensivals featuring World Champions and Cirque du Soleil coaches. He also founded the PhillyAcro program, providing a platform for intermediate and advanced level acrobats to learn and share their skills as well as introducing beginners to the wonderful world of Acro. He left his job in tech to pursue his passion of Acro and even started a high-end clothing line for acrobats, pole dancers, aerialists, and yogis. You can also find him behind the lens as he promotes his pole photography.
Some may recognize Rob through his Acro project of lifting 10,000 people in various acro poses worldwide. With over 9,000 different people being lifted already, he is close to his goal and has inspired and empowered many through his #ridetherob challenge.
Featured on Fox 29, 6ABC, CBS3, and Philadelphia Magazine, Rob's influence in the acrobatics community continues to grow, motivating others to participate in his workshops, unlock new skills, and experience the joy of acro poses. Rob warmly welcomes anyone interested in joining the challenge, regardless of experience level, to embark on this journey of exploration and elevation through acrobatics.
