A really great place for kids to get together and release some energy to their favourite music. The children will learn steps and techniques and then put them together in routines.

Children are accepted for classes from the age of 3
Acro is not the typical tumbling or gymnastics class. Our experienced acro instructor will guide the class towards increased flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline and concentration.
This class will focus on fundamental acrobatic technique, teaching such skills as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, ariels, balance and contortion tricks. Students will work at their own level and pace.
Why not Combine your Acro class with a style class such as Commercial or Contemporary to help with your style and performance skills.
