Acro Intermediate 11-13yrs
Acrobatic training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, discipline, and concentration. Through safe and progressive training, a dancer will gain more flexibility and strength to achieve skills. Dancers learn through games, drills, and techniques to develop their skills. Acrobatic movements can include handstands, somersaults, headstands, cartwheels, bridges, walkovers, and more! The goal is to incorporate acro skills into a dance routine, therefore blending artistry with athleticism.
This is an intermediate class, not a beginner/open-level class, geared toward dancers with prior dance (2+ years twice a week) For this level, dancers need to be enrolled in at least one other class a week in Contemporary, Ballet or Jazz.
Please email if you are unsure about the level.

The cost is $275 + GST.
