Acrobatic dance is the fusion of classic dance technique with precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. This challenging dance style includes balancing, limbering & flexibility (stretching), strength, tumbling and partnering. The roots of Acro are in traditional Chinese dance, which has gained popularity with the widespread success of contemporary productions such as Cirque du Soleil.

Acro classes will continue to be technique classes only as we continue to build a strong base in this complex technique.
We highly recommend Acro to dancers and any athletes who wish to improve their game performance. This technique develops overall body control, flexibility and balance which is crucial to all physical activity.
As Acro performances are the fusion of acrobatics and dance technique, students must be enrolled in at least one other dance discipline, to be considered for the performance class.
