Acrobatics

Acrobatics

This class is offered to students starting at age 7 to advanced. Acrobatics at Academie de Ballet is best defined as floor gymnastics with a contortion flare. Our syllabus focuses on strength and flexibility training, power tumbling, and acro-dance moves usually featured in advanced dance routines such as diving walkovers, aerials, back handsprings, etc.

We have found that our acrobatic classes have made our dancers of all styles stronger. The strength needed, especially in back muscles, have made arabesques higher, the flexibility required has produced higher leaps and battements and acrobatics builds an awareness of your core, generating better balance.

There are 4 levels of Acrobatics at ADB, beginning at age 7.
