This exciting acrobatic arts class has a strong emphasis on correct physical preparation through an advanced strength and stretching approach. Students will focus on developing contortion and gymnastics skills using the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus, in which students learn safe dance practices and advance their balances, turns, leaps, tumbling and limbering skills in a controlled and developmentally appropriate progression. The prerequisite for Acro dance is that students must also be enrolled in either a weekly lyrical, ballet, or jazz class at LCPA. This ensures students are maintaining the required level of strength and flexibility to cope with the physical demands of Acro and the development of required dance skills. All new students are required to enrol in Acro Skill Primary regardless of age, where your acro level will then be assessed.
