Our Classes

Acro

This program is centered on fundamental acrobatic technique. To increase flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, endurance, timing, body awareness, self-discipline and confidence. We focus on proper hand placement and body alignment. We focus on learning not only the technique, but also what muscles and flexibility are needed to execute that technique. Basic acrobatic skills are developed at an individual level, with the purpose of complimenting a dance routine.
