We do our very best at Dance Connection to make sure that our students are receiving the best and most well-rounded dance curriculum that we can offer. With that in mind, we offer classes that will enrich both the skills and experience for our students. One of those options is our Acro classes. If you’re thinking that Acro is the same as gymnastics or tumbling – not quite. There’s less emphasis on floor exercise movements like forward and back handsprings and mid-air twists, and more on creating shapes, holding postures, and leaps or inversions that add a new dimension to a dancer’s on stage performance. 

Our Acro curriculum centers on developing acrobatic and tumbling technique to increase flexibility, coordination, limbering, balance, strength, endurance, and timing. Our teachers also place an emphasis on safety, hand placement, body alignment, and proper acrobatic technique. Of course, as in every class we offer, we are working to build our students’ confidence in their dance and performance abilities, as well as their passion for dance while having fun!

If your dancer would like to give Acro a try there are two ways to jump in – you can schedule a trial class in one of our year long classes (there is a recital performance for these classes as well!) or you can click here to sign your dancer up for our 5-week “Intro to Acro” class beginning in March. As always, if you need more info or have questions, our Reception staff and Teachers will be happy to help!
