What is Acrobatic Arts?
Our instructors are certified through Acrobatic Arts. For our families, this means that students are getting proper technique and spotting skills from the very beginning!
Acro is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Acrobatic Arts offers a clear progression of skills. From forward rolls to back handsprings, parents can feel confident that new skills are being introduced when their child is ready! Learn more about Acrobatic Arts HERE.
Tumbling Levels at Elements
Elements Dance Studio is transitioning into offering six levels of tumbling and and introductory class for children ages 3-5. Students will need to master the progressions in their current level before moving on to the next. It’s very common (and encouraged!) for a student to repeat a level to build strength and confidence. Ages listed are a recommendation.
