Now Enrolling for
Summer and Season 18
Most Acro Dance class placement is determined by age as of September 1st 2023 as outlined below. To advance to Acro II the student can conduct a skill evaluation to be considered for placement.
Acro is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.
