Ballet/Acro (1st-2nd gr) with Lauren

Ballet/Acro gives dancers the opportunity combine the fluidity and grace of ballet with the daring tricks of acrobatic dance. Dancers start at the ballet barre and learn ballet vocabulary and technique. Then, dancers can work on their acrobatic skills. Acro teaches the fundamentals of exciting gymnastic tricks. Students develop strength, flexibility, and confidence as they learn how to execute acrobatic elements to use in dance choreography. Acro focuses on forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers and more. Dancers will gain muscle control, balance, and advance their tumbling technique at their own pace.
