Building Strength, Confidence, and Creativity—One Flip at a Time!
Have you ever watched a dancer perform a breathtaking aerial or a flawless back walkover and thought, “Wow! How do they do that?”
That’s the magic of AcroDance—a beautiful fusion of classical dance technique and the athleticism of acrobatic movement.
At Showcase Dance Studio, our Acro program is designed to help dancers safely master these exciting skills while building the strength, flexibility, and confidence that translate into every style of dance.
What Is AcroDance?
AcroDance (or “acro”) blends the musicality and grace of dance with the power and precision of acrobatics.
Think of it as dance that defies gravity—where artistry meets athleticism.
Students in our Acro program learn skills like:
- Balancing: headstands, handstands, elbow stands, and chest stands
- Limbering: bridges, walkovers, backbends, chest rolls, scorpions, and Arabians
- Tumbling: somersaults, cartwheels, roundoffs, headsprings, aerials, and back handsprings
- Partnering: teamwork and trust-building acrobatic sequences
Depending on level, students progress from simple rolls and bridges to advanced skills that look effortless—but are built on discipline, focus, and strong technique.
Why Dancers Love Acro
- It Builds Strength & Flexibility: Every acro dancer develops core control and mobility that enhance performance in jazz, lyrical, contemporary, pom/dance team and even ballet.
- It Boosts Confidence: Learning to safely master a new skill—like a handstand, chest stand, or aerial—empowers dancers and teaches perseverance.
- It Improves Stage Performance: Acro adds excitement, emotion, and visual impact to choreography, helping dancers stand out on stage.
- It’s Just Plain Fun! There’s nothing quite like the joy of nailing your first kickover or flipping across the floor with your friends cheering you on.
