Jazz/Acro (5th-8th gr) with Lauren

This class will start with a lively jazz warm up, then travel across the studio with kicks, turns and leaps. The class will learn dynamic, stylized choreography that builds flexibility, coordination and confidence. Then on to Acro (acrobatics for dancers), which teaches exciting gymnastic tricks. Students develop strength and flexibility, while learning how to execute acrobatic elements to use in dance choreography. Acro focuses on challenging each dancer at their own pace including cartwheels, walkovers, back handspring, aerials etc. Dancers will gain muscle control, balance, and advance their tumbling technique.
