Our Acro program is designed to help dancers safely progress in strength, flexibility, balance, and tumbling skills. Class placement is determined at the instructor’s discretion to ensure both safety and appropriate growth. While the skills listed for each level provide a few helpful examples, they are not a comprehensive list of what will be taught in class. Students may also be moved into a new level mid-year if they achieve their goals ahead of schedule.
