Introductory Acro

OVERVIEW

Intro Acro is for beginners who would like to see the world from a new perspective – upside down! 

The focus in this class is on learning the basics, safety, flexibility, strength, and having fun!  

Acro combines elements of acrobatics and floor gymnastics with classical dance. This form of dance is very athletic and has unique choreography to incorporate gymnastic-like elements into dance. 

Acro dance classes are great for students because it helps them develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and much more. The classroom setting allows students to work in teams and helps them develop and build their self-confidence. 

During acro dance classes students will be taught and trained in skills such as flexibility, strength, and control to perform tricks, balances, and tumbling. Each class will begin with a warm up to target the different muscles and ligaments in the body that will be used during the class. Stretches and fluid movements may be used to help students gain a sense of their capabilities, and through each class they will learn to push their limits to develop into more advanced dancers. Acro dance classes focus on long-term injury prevention of dancers, and because of the flexibility and strength it requires, your students’ growth and development will be even better.

It is highly recommended to be taking ballet techniques to excel at Acro.
