ACRO

Two sessions of acro classes will be offered this summer. Acro is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements.  A defining characteristic of acro is the smooth, graceful transitions between dance and acrobatic movements. Acro teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, and above all discipline and concentration.  We highly encourage dancers to take Acro class to help enhance their dancing.  

If you elect to have one session of Acro count as one of your dancer's required days, there is an additional fee. Fees are outlined below. 
​
Ages 9 & Under:

​Second Acro Session: Additional $100 added to summer tuition due on July 21

Ages 10 & Up:

Second Acro Session: Additional $120 added to summer tuition due on July 21
​

Class placement and the exact time of the class will be emailed by July 7th for session 1 and July 23 for session 2. 
Acro class will be held in the evenings between 5:30-9:00pm.​
