Acrobatic Arts

Acrobatic Arts, or Acro as it is referred to by dancers, is a combination of classic dance technique and acrobatic elements.  Acro blends musicality and line and style with acrobatic movements in a dance context.  Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength.

​

At RC Performing Arts we begin our Acro classes at Pre-school level.  Children can enrol from 3 years old and embark on a six-session course that teaches the foundations of Acro technique whilst using our imaginations and having lots of fun, making friends.  From age 5 and upwards, students can progress through the levels learning new skills at their own pace.

​

One of the main differences between Acro and Gymnastics is that we train our dancers to complete tumbling tricks on hard flooring.  This is so beneficial for every day life where a springy floor isn’t available.  We teach the students to prepare and land safely on every day ground.  Perfect for at home or the school playground.
