TUMBLING/ACRO

TUMBLING

This class will focus on fundamental tumbling skills and technique. Dependent on level, students will learn such things as handstands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, handsprings, aerials, etc. This class is great for students looking to enhance their agility, flexibility & strength. *This class does not perform in the end of year recital.
*Our tumble classes are offered as 6 week sessions.

ACRO

Acro dance combines dance technique with fluid acrobatic movements. Unlike the faster and stronger routines of gymnastics, acro dance is meant to enhance the art form of dance and provide the dancers with  greater means of self-expression through smooth, graceful transitions. 

ATTIRE

Shirt or leotard with dance shorts or leggings.  Hair must be securely tied up
