ABOUT THIS CLASS
Advanced Acro is designed for experienced students who are ready to refine advanced acrobatic skills while continuing to build strength, flexibility and body control. Classes combine technical acro training with dance-based movement, helping students develop confidence, precision and safe progression through more challenging skills.
Every lesson focuses on strong foundations, correct technique and individual development, ensuring each student progresses safely at their own pace while working towards new goals and performance opportunities.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Advanced Acro is suitable for students who have completed our Level 2 curriculum and are working at Level 3 or above. Students should be able to independently perform key foundation skills, including a forward walkover, backward walkover and one-handed cartwheel, demonstrating the strength, control and technique needed for advanced training.
