Acrobatic Arts

Acrobatic Dance is a stylish and exciting fusion of gymnastics, dance and acrobatics.

Acro teaches many of the same techniques and progressions that students would learn in gymnastics classes. However, Acrobatic Dance trains our students to have the strength to complete and perform their skills on a hard stage floor, without the need for a gymnastic sprung floor.

The focus of Acrobatic Dance is to train both sides of the body evenly and to master the higher level skills through safe progressions, which aids injury prevention.  We build strong, safe and fearless acrobats.

Acrobatic Arts originated in Canada and spread rapidly throughout North and South America and is very popular in Europe and UK. The syllabus was developed with input from professionals in contortion, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, sport acrobatics, yoga, acro yoga, Pilates, physiotherapy, hand balancing and more. You will not find a more comprehensive program …… even Cirque Du Soleil has given this program the stamp of approval!

Some of the benefits of acrobatic gymnastics are as follows:

Enhances balance, co-ordination and agility

Develops posture and confident body movement, including the ability to land safely

Challenges the mind and body to courageously reach new goals

Builds strength, flexibility and power

Is the perfect team-based sport for people of all ages and abilities

The Acrobatic Arts program combines power and poise, with grace and beauty. This dynamic sport builds confidence and camaraderie amongst all participants.
