Students in this 30 minute class practice acrobatic skills. Acro dance is the mix of acrobatics skills and dance, which requires strong dance technique as well as athleticism. We focus on 5 categories of movement in our acro classes: strength, flexibility, limbering, balancing and tumbling.

Students love our acro classes because they are high energy, different every week, and they have fun tricks to show their friends. Though it’s not required, we suggest that students that take acro also take a ballet combo class. The basic dance steps and movement skills acquired during ballet will help our acro students succeed.

This class is $520 for the year (or $65 per month for 8 months), or offered at a discount if your student takes more than one class each week! This price includes weekly rehearsals from September-May and one recital costume. Tuition details can be found on our tuition page.
