Acrobatic training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline, concentration, creativity, and expression to music. At this age, we introduce bridge, cartwheels, handstands, headstands, and rolls, along with dance terminology and musicality. As students get older, acrobatic movements can include hand balances, walkovers, and cartwheel variations.

This is not a total beginner class. It is suited for focused dancers who are ready to work hard and give it their all.

This dance class will provide the potential for personal expression and coordination skill-building. One of the goals is to communicate through movement and use imagery and games to have fun while creating the building blocks for future development. This class also uses traditional exercises to familiarize students with dance vocabulary, musicality, and choreography.

DanceFusion is an Acrobatic Arts Certified Studio.

Class is held at Studio Alive in uphill Nelson.
