Acrobatics
Enhance Your Dance Lessons by Training Acrobatics.
Acrobatics dance, or acro, uses dynamic gymnast movements to create powerful, explosive dance choreography. You'll grow the strength, dexterity, and coordination necessary to add power moves like cartwheels, splits, and aerial maneuvers to your dance repertoire.
Jojo’s Dance Divas & Dudes offers acrobatics classes in an effort to enhance your conditioning and movement ability to benefit your dancing career. Not only will you be able to perform more impressive movements, but you'll protect your body and health in the long-term.
Can Anyone Learn Acrobatics?
Technically, yes, but if you have any concerns about your physical abilities or injuries, you should consult a physician before attempting an acrobatics class.
Acrobatics will progressively test your strength, dexterity, and flexibility. You're not expected to be able to perform flips immediately, and we make our practice area safe with high-quality safety mats to help cushion falls and accidents.
Our instructors work with all of our students to understand their skill level and encourage them to slowly integrate acrobatic techniques safely and efficiently.
IS THIS THE SAME AS GYMNASTICS?
Yes and no. While many of the techniques are valuable and incorporated into dance, dance is less rigid in the ways that gymnasts and competitions are.
Incorporating acrobatic movements into dance actually resembles more of a lyrical style of dance that uses smoother transitions with a lot of movement variation.
BUILD STRENGTH, DEXTERITY, AND MOBILITY
One of the key differences is that you're working to eventually be able to perform acrobatic dance movements on a stage or hard ground without the safety of a mat to catch you.
If you're looking for something a little more challenging that can benefit your dance career, try our acrobatics classes today.
