Strength, flexibility and control

Acro

Gymnastics-based dance that builds handstands, walkovers, aerials and balance work, taught safely and progressively.

About the class

What acro is all about

Acro sits where gymnastics meets dance. Students develop the strength, flexibility and body awareness that lift every other discipline they take, from the clean line of a ballet arabesque to the tricks that finish a commercial routine.

We follow a graded, safety-first progression. Nothing is rushed. Skills are broken down, spotted and mastered one step at a time, so confidence grows alongside ability.

What to expect

  • A thorough warm up and conditioning to prepare wrists, shoulders and core
  • Progressive skill work: bridges, limbers, walkovers, handstands and aerials
  • Spotting and matting for every new skill until it is secure
  • Flexibility and strength training woven through every class

Why it matters

What your dancer gains

  • Genuine strength, flexibility and body control
  • The confidence that comes from mastering a new trick safely
  • Skills that lift every other style they dance
  • Trust in their own body and a fearless, can-do attitude

How they progress

Students begin with foundational strength and flexibility, then progress through bridges and limbers to walkovers, handstands and, in time, aerials, only ever moving on once a skill is secure.

Amelia is a superb teacher. She is kind, thoughtful and conscientious. Very child focused and professional.
