Acro Enhancement Program

Are you looking to refine and take your acro skills to the next level?

The acro enhancement class program offers additional acro training to supplement your home studio’s training. These classes will focus on introducing new skills and variations while progressing your tumbling, aerial skills, limbering, balancing, and partnering. There will be a strong focus on maintaining good technique and every week will also include injury prevention exercises to ensure the health of your spine and body. These classes are for training purposes only and students will not be a part of any choreography for performances or competition.
