Acro Fusion

Acro Fusion is a combination class where students will learn a mix of classic dance technique and acrobatic elements.

In Acro Fusion we seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.

Pupils are taught the basics like handstands, cartwheels and more advanced techniques including balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, flexibility and strength. Their Acro training is paired with contemporary dance techniques to create expressive routines and dance pieces. This style of dance gained popularity through well known dance shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dance Moms".

We are accredited by Acrobatic Arts and follow their syllabus to ensure fun and safe progressions.
Students are given the opportunity to take their Acrobatic Arts exams as well as putting on termly performances.
