Acrobatics is a beautiful fusion of dance technique and the precision/athleticism of acrobatic elements. 

Our program teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline, and concentration. Acro is not the typical tumbling or gymnastics class.  Basic acrobatic movements focus on developing a strong foundation that will allow students to learn more advanced tricks and skills.  Acro students will be taught to blend musicality, expression, line, and extension through choreographed acrobatic and dance context
