ACRODANCE

AcroDance is the fusion of classic dance technique with the precision and athleticism of tumbling. Acrobatic training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, and above all, discipline and concentration. With our careful, quality instruction, dancers will gain more flexibility, upper body strength, and spatial awareness providing a substantial advantage in today’s demanding choreography. The high degree of discipline and concentration required in dance and acrobatics carries over to many other aspects of a student’s life.
