Acro Dance
Acro Dance classes are curriculum-based courses that follow the progression guidelines set forth by the leading Acro Dance certification program, Acrobatic Arts. Our studio has been operating as an Acrobatic Arts certified studio, and offering Acro Dance as a separate course, since 2015. Each of our instructors are certified in dance and acrobatics to ensure the safety of your dancer as they participate in Acro Dance, tumbling and contortion programming at our studio.
Acro dance classes at Palmetto En Pointe are leveled by skill. Each progression to the next level requires a mastery of skills through a mid-year and an end of year examination process. Levels are not by age, with the exception of our Primary class programs, and are as follows: Primary, Levels 1-8, and Pre-professional levels 1-3. Each Acro dance class consists of a combination of flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering and tumbling skills.
We suggest that Acro dance classes be taken in conjunction with another dance class (This does not apply to Primary Acro) that is similar in foundation (lyrical, jazz, contemporary, modern, etc) so that your dancer will gain basic dance technique alongside their Acro Dance curriculum so that they will achieve the best results from your training. Each class will perform in the end of year showcase with an Acro Dance that will highlight skills from the curriculum.
