Description:

This class combines acrobatic movements with other dance forms such as Jazz and Contemporary dance. This class focuses on building a dancer’s flexibility, strength, agility, and control. Some of the tricks that students may learn include cartwheels, rolls, handstands, and walkovers. Over the years, the circus arts have gained in popularity making this a very popular class. Students in this class must also be enrolled in at least one other dance class (such as ballet or jazz) to safely ensure that they are strong enough to avoid injury. Acro is a physically demanding class, so it is important that the dancers understand that they will each progress at their own rate and should not compare themselves to the other students in the class.
