REGISTRATION BEGINS AUGUST 1st

 Acro/Gym or acrobatics is the art of slow controlled movements using the flexibility of the back, legs, and shoulders.  Acro is one of the performing arts and involves difficult feats of balance, agility, and coordination. Gymnastics is the sport of power tumbling executed by a straight back using strength and speed. Classes will focus on increasing flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline, and concentration. Emphasis will be placed on developing fundamental acrobatic techniques, and teaching skills such as handstands, chin stands, elbow stands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers, balance, and contortion tricks, all at each student’s individual level of experience.  This class combines acrobatic tumbling skills with dance elements. 

 Our Christ-centered acrobatic program offers a structured, encouraging environment where students develop strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence. Each level builds on the last, helping dancers grow in skill, discipline, and a heart for worship through movement.

All classes are $45 per month

 Ballet is the foundation of all styles of dance.  Its origins stem from Italy.  It is a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary.  It is best known in the form of classical but can additionally include neoclassical and contemporary ballet.  Each class begins with a ballet barre, moves to a center floor adage, petite and grand allegro, and concludes with a formal grand reverence.  Students will learn terminology in French, correct body alignment, how to improve their natural turn-out, and develop a love for the most graceful living art. Pointe, as an extension to ballet, is the advancement of ballet class to hard-boxed pointe shoes.  Students usually progress to pointe work between the ages of 11-12
