What Are the benefits of Acro Classes?

​

​

IMPROVES FLEXIBILITY AND MOBILITY

As muscles grow and strength is increased, it’s important to keep our bodies flexible and mobile. One of the advantages of acro dance is that it increases flexibility while building strength. This allows dancers to maintain and improve their range of motion so they can execute acrobatic moves safely with minimal risk of injury. As dancers, flexibility is extremely important to prevent injuries, pain, and stiffness.

​

INCREASES CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM

When students learn difficult steps and master acro movements, we see their confidence boost and their excitement grow. Their eyes light up and they are more confident to learn another difficult move. Dance helps us overcome challenges and inspires us to believe that we can accomplish what we set our minds to.

​

IMPROVES OVERALL COORDINATION

All types of dance styles can help improve coordination and balance in their own way. While tap teaches students rhythmic coordination and ballet training help improve precise muscle coordination, the acro dance takes an incredible amount of coordination with intricate routines. Movements like a handspring, chest stand, cartwheels, Valdez, and a front aerial, just to name a few, takes coordination and dedication to another level. Often, students don’t realize they’re improving their coordination while practicing these moves in a fun and safe environment.

​

ENCOURAGES CONSISTENCY AND DEDICATION

You may have heard the expression “practice makes perfect”, but we believe that practice makes progress. Like all dance styles, acro movements need practice! We help our students build up their skills and give them a different challenge for each move they master. With each class, students learn the value of showing up consistently and being committed to small improvements over time. This is a skill they can apply to all areas of their life!
