Our Acrobatic classes are tailored to promote safe and effective progressions, endorsed by proven results in five divisions of AcroDance: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Limbering, and Tumbling. Our simple and thoughtful progressions segue the beginner Pre-primary level dancer from log rolls to summersaults and ultimately, to an advanced, graceful, and effortless tumbling across the stage.
At the start, students will learn basic stunts like forward rolls, cartwheels, and beginner balances. As the students advance, they'll add skills like more complex tumbling, balances, lifts, and partner stunts. With each class, each student will discover a new level of skill, strength, and flexibility.
Our Primary Acrobatics class is a 45-minute combination class that includes learning and mastering gymnastics, acrobatics, as well as dance and music to stimulate physical and mental development.
Classes are loads of fun, with a focus on the development of gross motor skills (such as jumping, running, climbing, and balancing), and an introduction to tumbling (such as somersaults, cartwheels, and handstands).
