Acro

Ages 7+

Acrobatic Dance or "Acro" incorporates gymnastic-like tumbling and flexibility skills with the beauty of dance execution. Safety and proper form are of utmost importance in our acrobatic training program. Beginning Acro students will focus on flexibility, strength, beginning and finishing positions, safety, and proper body, foot and leg positions. Skills that will be taught within this class are forward and backward rolls, cartwheel variations, handstands, headstands, forearm stands, walkovers, round- offs, and bridges. All upper level Acro dancers will build upon the skills they have already learned.  Skills include, Ariels, handsprings, shoulder stands, Acro partnering, and hand walking.  Upper-level students must be currently enrolled in a Ballet or Jazz class. The teacher will have one on one time with a group of students then will have them work on the skill while she moves to another group. This is the best way to have students get the teachers time as well as time to practice the skill independently.
