Aspiring acrobats acquire basic and advanced dance and gymnastics skills in acro dance classes. Kids and teens learn to move rhythmically while performing jumps, turns, tumbles, and other fun tricks in acro class. To excel, kids must acquire physical self-control. Beginner acro formations, choreography, and tricks are limited, to gradually build children’s skills. Teachers identify kids’ initial strengths and weaknesses and provide feedback accordingly. Advanced dancers get the opportunity to perform more elaborate routines, filled with cartwheels, handstands, and group pyramids. Kids and teens train their body to become flexible over the course of class.
Jazz dance training may be combined with acro training in some programs. Though there are less gymnastics elements in this dance style, kids still perform jumps and turns as in acro. Important positions and moves children learn in class include pike position, skipping, plié, cartwheel, and handstand. Balance, flexibility, and coordination assist with performing these movements safely. Young dancers are even spotted during class by fellow dancers or instructors to prevent injury in class.
At more advanced acro dance classes, kids and teens learn skills necessary to progress to higher levels of dance. Classes teach children foundational skills such as self-control, spatial awareness, and poise. Perfecting these skills paves the way to learn complex tricks, turns, and formations.
Collaboration becomes more essential in advanced acro class. Often, routines are choreographed in groups, and young acrobats to learn how to support fellow dancers as they advanced. Acro programs include showcases or competitions for troupes to participate in. In this, kids and teens gain performance skills and confidence performing in front of an audience.
Prices for acro dance classes typically rise above $100. Children must be five years old and up to enroll in class.
Acro dance training cultivates essential life skills for kids and teens. Aside from acro skills, here are other benefits kids gain.:
