Finding the Right Acro Class

Our acro program is designed to meet dancers where they are and help them progress safely and confidently.

​

Some classes, including our Developmental Acro for ages 5–6 and KinderSTARS Acro, are organized by age and developmental stage. Many of our other acro classes are organized primarily by skill level rather than age, allowing students to train alongside others working on similar skills and progressions.

 

Not sure which class to choose?

 

We’re happy to help!

​

Contact us to schedule an acro assessment, and our instructors can evaluate your dancer’s current skills, experience, and goals and recommend the class that will be the best fit.

The right placement helps every dancer feel successful, challenged, and ready to grow.

 

Skill Development All Season Long

Our weekly acro classes remain focused on acro training and skill development throughout the entire season. We don't want students to lose valuable training time in the spring because class has shifted into weeks of recital choreography and cleaning.

Participation in our Acro Recital Production is optional. Students who want to perform can opt in and attend separate rehearsals outside of their regular acro class to learn and rehearse the production.

That means students can take acro simply because they want to build strength, flexibility, technique, and new skills—whether or not performing in the recital is part of their goal.
